This is hilarious; Iran has apparently photoshopped an extra missile into the photograph they released to the press about their recent missile test:

As news spread across the world of Iran’s provocative missile tests, so did an image of four missiles heading skyward in unison.

This is the image that ran in the papers and has recently been retracted for being “apparently digitally altered” by Iranian state media. Agence France-Presse said the fourth missile “has apparently been added in digital retouch to cover a grounded missile that may have failed during the test.” Here I’ve blown up a portion of the smoke so you can clearly see the ’shop:
