the objects on the far right are appear to be depth bombs but what is the green thing with the fins and more importantly what the heck is the big blue thing with the tiny prop on the second trailer. It dosn't appear to be any of the two known Iranian SDVs.

Also anyone know what kind of missile this is?

The blue thing with tiny 'prop' looks like some kind of laser-guided bomb, that's my guess. The 'prop' is the homing seeker (look at some US LGBs and see something similar), and the small fins appear to be controllable. Looks like attachment points for larger fins on the other end.

By the look of that missile, it's most likely surface or naval-launched, I'd wager it's some kind of SAM...

More on the big blue thing, look at the Sattar-2 (?) laser-guided missile in this photo:

The missile in pic 2 of the original post looks like some other variant of the Sattar (that's the Sattar 4 in foreground above)

Don't think so, it doesn't look anything like the other variants...

Never mind the ordnance...look at the latest variant of what was until recently top secret weapons carrier/platform :hmmm:

Diesel propulsion I reckon :DL

due to lack of domestic refining they converted their trucks to running on chip fat

The Donkeys are too busy running the country to be pulling loads.

Nonsense, there's always the Army of the Donkey Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (Or Islamic Revolutionary Donkey Corps) to rely on...

Didn't the Donkey Guardians of the Islamic Revolution get disbanded for being a bunch of asses? Or were they promoted?

That was the Rebublican Donkey Commando division. The Donkey Guardians of the Islamic Revolution were promoted.

The commando division is now headed by what used to be the 4th Islamic Lama corps.

Hmmm intresting idea but I think I would have to disagree that its a bomb for one its huge for one unless they plan on dropping it out of a C-130. Also its fins are asymentical with one on the bottom and two on the sides. Most bombs I've seen have four fins.

Look at my subsequent post - big blue thing ID'd as Sattar-2 laser-guided missile, sans rear fins.

The missile looks pretty much like a Kh-58 (AS-11 Kilter)
