Western experts said that the mishap shows Iran is facing difficulties in ballistic missile development. Janes revealed that U.S. spy satellites followed the attempted launch, which took place at the space center near Tehran. Black spots were seen covering the area around the launching pad immediately after the accident.

It would be funny if they accidentally nuke themselves.Yabbut they have to get them far enough off the ground first to arm the barometric trigger...or radar altimeter, or whatever they're planning to use...otherwise, it's just a dirty bomblet.
