Iran's Photoshopped Missile Launch

At least one of the photographs released today by Iran and published by an unquestioning Western media is a Photoshop fake:

As I understand it the Pentagon confirms multiple Iranian launches of missiles with a range to hit US bases in Iraq and Israeli targets. That being the case the fakery of the photo is interesting but I don’t see it as the significant story.

True, but the thread last night on this topic was one of the funniest I have read in years! Classic FR creativity at its best!

It's interesting that a photographer would do this, given the fact that three missiles would seem to be adequate to demonstrate that it's not a one-time launch.

Here's another view of the fourth missile with emphasis put on the varying sky coloring.
