FARS News "refutes":
TEHRAN (FNA)- An Iranian analyst dismissed claims by certain western media that Iran has doctored still images of the missiles test fired during the naval maneuvers last week.
"The Islamic Republic did not publish any still images during the maneuvers, it officially and through its overseas media broadcasted these footages live contrary to the claims that have been made by the West," analyst Aabedini said.
I'm having trouble understanding how that second part refutes anything. They published the still images after the exercises. One of the images, at least, had been doctored.
But leaving that image aside, analysts are saying that the tests demonstrated no new Iranian capabilities.
Funny thing, though. I no longer see the original FARS version of the doctored photo in the FARS site.
Refutation: failed
***Update: I should have looked closer. There is still a link to the image on the news page, but the image is broken. (broken image: here news page here )
