A photograph of four missiles being fired by Iran ratcheted up the tensions between the Islamic state and the US and Israel. But now it appears that Tehran may have enhanced the pictures.

The photographs originated from the media arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guards (who knew?). While a widely used image shows four missiles heroically zooming through the air ...

... The original shows three rockets launching with a fourth apparently failing to fire.

Iran is playing cats and dogs with America and Israel to clarify its stance: we're not budging one inch. At least this photoshopped image shows that the Islamic fundamentalists don't lack humour even in the most tense of situations, an ability that'll be pushed to the limit following this stressed world political crisis.
