"Iran has been accused of altering an image of a missile test, possibly to exaggerate its military capabilities.
Four missiles appear to take off from a desert launch pad in one image of the test published on the Iranian Revolutionary Guards website.
But a similar image has emerged that shows one missile still in its launcher after apparently failing to fire.
Analysts said that in the image apparently showing four missiles taking off, one of the projectiles was added using elements from the smoke trail and dust clouds from two of the other successfully launched missiles.
'Doctored'
The image said to have been digitally altered was disseminated by the AFP news agency and reproduced by media organisations around the world - including the BBC News website, which removed it from pages when doubts about its authenticity were raised. "

Remember that Ms. Leverknight said about Val McClatchey's photo in a phone call from Jeff Hill that the original photo didn't have a mushroom cloud in it which means someone added one in.
