We have both the report from Iran, and a report from JSR that they have observed the satellite and 2nd stage in orbit.

So it appears that they actually did it this time.

If you look at the launch (video below), I notice something odd, no ice, which implies the use of less efficient room-temperature propellants, which makes the technology more applicable to military uses, as it can be stored fully fueled in as silo or on the back of a TEL.^*
