That single stage solid rocket doesn't look like it would have the umph
to get something into space.
It also looks a lot like a ex-Soviet Frog-7 missile.

They claiming simply to have shot them into space, or actually into
orbit? And if the former, what is Iran's definition of the beginning
of space?

So when ground control asked, "Are you a turtle?" how
did the mouse respond?

Just into space, although they also displayed three new satellites today.
As for where Iran considers space to start, that's a state secret that
must be concealed from the Zionist Entity. Let's just say that tonight,
in paradise, the Prophet Muhammad may be feasting on turtle soup.

Maybe turtles are good at taking high g's; the Soviets flew two around
the Moon on Zond 5, which survived a 20g ballistic reentry and splashed
down in the Indian Ocean.

By issuing a strongly worded statement against the criminal actions of
The Zionist Entity for usurping the good name of rodents for use in a
comic book about some claimed historical event that never occurred of

Did you attend the University of MD? I did! So, when I answer, you bet
your sweet ass I am, I REALLY mean it.

Wouldn't the question have to be "Are you a Terrapin?" in that case?-)
(Or I suppose "Are you a Terp?")
