#1 Iran made a similar claim in January, saying then that it had launched the first monkey into space, strapped snugly into a rocket, and returned it safely to Earth. That announcement was met with skepticism by ~~some~~ anyone allowed to walk around without a keeper.

FTFY.

#4 Well, if Iranian claims are true, they are at least launching living cargo, better than our live lifting capability.

#5 A sub orbital flight with a 20 kilo bio payload is perfectly reasonable. That said, why all the fuss? Unless it was launched from the f- 313, in which case I advise panic.
