Great Satan US will die with its hatred towards Islamic Iran’s Space Monkey Mission

This monkey is not that monkey; or probably that monkey is not this monkey

German Deutsche Welle Persian service was the first to trigger the main line of the news. In a report, it pointed to Tehran’s news bomb on launching live creature to space and returning it to earth in full health. “Last week Iran claimed that it had sent a monkey in a Kavoshgar (Explorer) capsule to space. Pictures of the monkey before and after the operation have raised doubts on cyberspace about Iranian officials’ claims. Comparison of pictures of the monkey sent by ‘Pishgam’ explorer capsule and its pictures after return gives credibility to the speculation that the two monkeys’ pictures are not the same, and that, Iranian Space Agency officials has posed another monkey,” says report.

The Deutsche Welle winning card- which found much voice in anti-Iranian media- and provided to them the main evidence to cast doubt on Iran’s historic space achievement, is here: “the surprising point is difference between monkey sent to space and that returned from space. As pictures obviously reveal, astronaut monkey has a large birthmark over his right eyebrow.”

But what is reality?

Examination of pictures of Pishgam launching into space and transferring of the monkey from quarantine to inside capsule reveals that there is no birthmark on astronaut monkey’s eyebrow even before launch, and pictures foreign media based their judgment on is those of 2011 unsuccessful project.

In 2011 when Iranian scientists’ efforts to send live creature to space was aborted and the sent monkey did not return to earth, the news was announced in full transparency by the authorities, without any fears.

Thus, claims by Western media can only be attributed to their anger and frustration about Iran’s scientific success, and their blunder in displaying pictures of 2011 unsuccessful launch instead of those of 2013 success.
