Does anyone here really think that the iranians wouldn't have thought about c of g problems? Or that a mere 600lb-ish of disposable weight would seriously affect an aircraft of that size? Or that they didn't do a thorough stress / aerodynamic analysis first? Guys, these people are building atomic weapons (ie space launchers and re-entry vehicles or something damn close), they aren't rank amateurs (like us). If they can stick twin tails and associated controls on an old F5 they can certainly do this.
Anyway, what's to say the Ayatollahs Peoples "Democratic" chop-yer-hands-off Republics Holy Propaganda Bureau isn't p!ssing itself laughing at the effect their plasticene and cardboard joke mockup is having on the infidels?
Bit more imagination required methinks. On both counts.
