ReportNo of course IT WAS NOT FAKE!
Unrefutable evidence proves that the two monkies were the same:

ReportIt reminds me of the incident that they photoshopped their missile launch a few years ago and got caught:

ReportCan they still produce both monkeys in the photos to make themselves look a little better?

ReportThe most reasonable explanation in my opinion came from below.
Jonathan McDowell, a Harvard astronomer who tracks rocket launchings and space activity, also said this week's monkey space flight was real, but he had a slightly different explanation for the photo mix-up. He claimed the light gray monkey with the mole died during a failed space mission in 2011.
"The monkey with the mole was the one launched in 2011 that died. The rocket failed. It did not get into space," McDowell said. "They just mixed that footage with the footage of the 2013 successful launch."
Iran has never confirmed that a monkey died in 2011, or that there was a failed mission that year.
