WNU Editor: Twitter is banned in Iran .... except for those who work for the Iranian government. So this tweet by this Iranian minister should be treated with the skepticism that it deserves. But if it was not the Nahid-1 satellite on the rocket that exploded, what was it carrying?

a. Most likely they have 2. Their satellites/rockets explode like every other day, so backup is needed

b. Could be photoshopped. But they have been caught so many times red handed about photoshopping, so my guess is a.

c. Could be a simple prototype or alternative build

I don't think they would try to launch without anything on board. So this is just the government trying to downplay it. I think Israel (who was likely behind it) will have some narrative to add to it as well.. either way, next one will blow up too :D

coming to think of it.. look at the reflections in the panels.. why would they MAGNIFY if they are not concave/convex (forgot which one is magnifying/making smaller).. they have to be FLAT! in fact they are almost perfectly flat on purpose so why the F would they make him look bigger? lol I smell another photoshop fail
