TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Imam Khomeini National Space Center was officially inaugurated in Iran on Thursday with the successful test-launch of a homegrown satellite carrier dubbed Simorgh.
The center, home to Iran’s first fixed launch platform, administrates the development, launch, and navigation of Iranian satellite carriers.
Designed and built in compliance with international standards, the Imam Khomeini National Space Center is going to handle all space projects in the low‑Earth orbit (LEO).
Simorgh satellite carrier is capable of sending satellites weighing up to 250 kilograms into an orbit around the Earth with an altitude of 500 km.
Iran has in recent years made great headways in the space technology thanks to the efforts made by its local scientists.
The country successfully launched its first indigenous data-processing satellite, Omid (Hope), into orbit in February 2009.

The following illustrates why readers can not remain silent, and want to join the discussion. Too many misinterpretations and useless posts!
The enlarged image is too blurry and the colors too tarnished to be useful. Indeed, with a better resolution from a picture taken at close range, the rocket is easily identifiable as a blue and white Safir-1, not a Simorgh (Safir-2)!
▲More pictures from the same set have been published in Iranian media, with different angles, thus confirming that the background posters (measuring ~ 3 m by ~ 4 meters in a very raw guestimate) were generic with the same two rockets left and right side, with different pictures only in the central whitish box of the posters.
These images show clearly the repeating pattern on 6 posters.
▲ On this above closer view photo, the right side rocket is clearly identified as a Safir-1 with the same diameter from the upper part (second stage), with its blue payload nosecone fairing, to the lower part (first stage) also painted blue of the engine bay with 4 air fins, unlike the Safir-2 (Simorgh) that has an increased 2.4 meter engine bay.
Furthermore, official photo of 2015 shows that the payload nosecone fairing and engine bay of the Safir-2 were of gray-white/ivory color and not blue. Pictures that appeared the next year, in February 2016 during the Bahman 22 celebrations, show a new orange and white color scheme, that has not changed since, as demonstrated during the recent test launch from Imam Khomeini Space Center.

▲ During the Bahman 22 celebrations of February 2016 , the Safir-2 with a new orange and white color scheme, that has not changed since, as demonstrated during the recent test launch from the Imam Khomeini Space Launch Center.

▲ Purported 2016 image and official 2017 picture from Imam Khomeni Space Center, of the Safir-2 painted orange and white.

Thats... that's got to be Simorgh on the launch pad...

This is not by a Chinese fan boy. It is by @SOHEIL who seem to be an internationally recognized source of information about Iran's SLVs.The Safir-2 space launchers family as depicted by Chinese fanboy in China Military Forum.

There are more of your images circulating on Chinese and North Korean military forums!
Are you also denying you made this one?
He should look something like:
