Love this bit: "The Kavoshgar 2 is a two-stage solid fuel rocket capable of
carrying a small payload and reentering the lower atmosphere with a high
degree of accuracy. Iran insists that its space program has no military
goals." "...reentering the lower atmosphere with a high degree of
accuracy" - only reason for that is to put a warhead at the top of their
'launch vehicle'.

I like this part:

"The Kavoshgar 2 is a two-stage solid fuel rocket capable of carrying a
small payload and reentering the lower atmosphere with a high degree of
accuracy. Iran insists that its space program has no military goals."

Plans are to be able to drop small animals into pet shops in downtown
Tel Aviv with a circular error probability of as little as five meters.
"We may not get the parrot into the right cage, but we will get into the
bird section of the pet shop", said a Iranian spokesman proudly: "If the
parrot then decides to explode, that's its business, not ours." :-)

Even as we speak, Iran is breeding Wombats Of Mass Destruction to ride
on these rockets. :-)

....Actually, it's not parrots they're going to launch, but political
prisoners. If they survive, they get to go free.

But they'll still have to nail the parrot to the perch. That or find a
way to put 50000 volts though it.

To a Zionist/Nazi swarm like this group of pretend-Atheists and
mainstream status quo thugs and goons of the brown-nosed kind, the
whole other world is nothing but a joke.

The US space shuttle reenters the lower atmosphere with a high degree
of accuracy. Does it carry warheads?

Want to see the RV?
Here it is on the rocket:

Here it is on the ground after reentry:

Sure doesn't look military to me with those stabilizing fins, pointy
nose, and airbrakes. :-D
Wouldn't look at all out of place on the bomb pylon of a F-15E.
Those are from he http://www.isna.ir/ISNA/NewsView.aspx?ID=News-1245961
All the little holes going around it are interesting... either those are
where inclined screw holes go that hold a whole bunch of stacked squat
cylindrical electronic modules together...that can be changed
mission-to-mission (quite likely)...or those are the holes that the
nerve gas or germs come out of as it approaches its target (less likely,
but very interesting to think about).
Anyway, it explains its precision impact technology... the fins keep it
on a ballistic trajectory pointy-end-first as it descends, and it
modifies its velocity and impact point via the airbrakes.
The nosecone is big enough to carry a radar - and indeed appears to be
non-metallic like a radome would be - and if the airbrakes can be opened
individually during descent it should be able to adjust its impact point
by steering itself from side-to-side.
