Alright, feel free to discuss the actual implications/reactions/etc. on their ability to have the capability to hit Israel but this is just funny... and sad...

Iran's Photoshopped Missile Launch

This photo has been circulating the mainstream media since the announcement that Iran fired them.  It's funny that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard thought they could get away with this and it's sad that (for a moment) they did.  I wonder if we'll hear about this gaffe of the mainstream media from the mainstream media...

Oh my... there aren't even any visible launch pads/vehicles. Who do they think they would fool?

I seriously suspect this to be a news duck. A few years ago, a diplomatic incident was caused when a news source reported that Iran was about to introduce sumptuary laws for Jews. It turned out to be all bogus.

Well it does appear to be gaining ground in the media so you've got to give credit where it's due:

What do you mean by news duck?  Someone other than the Iranians put this out there?

News duck = News that the media reported in good faith, but which turned out to be completely bogus.

I thought the expression existed in English too, but apparently not.
