Iran has plenty of fine scientists and engineers – many got PhD’s at western universities. That a first attempt failed to reach optimal orbital parameters just ells us that they will need to tweak things a bit.
It is stupid to treat the Iranians as intellectually inferior. They aren’t. They have far more technical resources than Iraq, and Saddam was able to enrich Uranium, make nerve agents (not too hard) and make biological weapons (a little harder).
Give the Iranians time, and they’ll have a nuclear weapon deliverable anywhere on earth, and the ability to inflict a devastating EMP attack on any country on earth with only one weapon.
