#UPDATE: Iran sent monkey into space and retrieved "shipment" intact, according to official statement quoted by Tehran TV.

Is this the beginning of the end?! Imagine if North Korea and Iran were neighbours, they'd get up to so much mischief!

If Iran will start sending monkeys to North Korea, what will they send back?

Chequered history of human rights, theocratic state, decidedly dodgy nuclear programme, the list is extensive. Not really a country I'd celebrate any time soon.

Ironically, the countries which are carrying out these tasks unhindered have the same issues as you've mentioned.
