Does Iran Photoshop its missile tests photos?

I came across this interesting photo of an Iranian missiles test on the Arabian Business, the report suggests that the picture has been photoshoped, if you look closely you can see that missiles and smoke are a little bit similar. The photo has been distributed by Sepah News, the media arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, through newswire AFP, which eventually pulled the photo without a confirmation whether it is true or not.
