Looks too much like a model model tbh too many smooth surfaces and like propped upas in the models you see on stands at the likes of Farnborough and at Paris.

As a kid when building the Matchbox/Revell/Airfix/Hasagewa 1.72 kit models, had borrowed a book from the local library on how to create the perfect kit model and diorama and how to maximise use of a camera.

One page was on how to use a spacecraft model or satellite, suspend it with string on a blackboard background with stars dotted, and positioning of the camera on tripod with regard to distance and angle to produce a semi convincing picture of a satellite in space. Like the pre CGI and special effects used in films from the 40s onwards to the advent of George Lucas.

Anyhow it be nice if the Iranians put a couple of personnel beside said vehicle to determine scale and size.
