Iran's ballistic missile launch was fake: report

Iran’s recent ballistic missile launch was fake and never took place, U.S. officials told Fox News on Monday.

Iran state television claimed that the nation had successfully fired a missile and aired footage of the launch on Friday, but that video was actually of a launch that took place in January, according to Fox News.

That missile exploded shortly after launch.

President Trump had responded to the launch in a tweet Saturday.

"Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea," Trump tweeted. "Not much of an agreement we have!"

The false strike took place as Trump is about to announce whether the U.S. will remain in the Iran nuclear deal. Trump told reporters last week that he had reached a decision on the agreement but wouldn't say what that decision was.

He is reportedly considering decertifying the deal and then leaving the decision on staying up to Congress.

Funny thing ..these amateur antics cost the Iranians mullahs great deal of political disaster...!

"Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea," Trump tweeted. "Not much of an agreement we have!"

But it was also embarrassing for trump..

The end of story for these idiots and pro Israel scums.

So remove the sanction on Iran missile program ..you know why 'cause it's fake.

p.s: meanwhile when Iran mentioned anything about the time of the test? Iran just released the footage of the test ..

Iran released footage of an earlier test, it didn't claim otherwise. Worthless Fox "reporting" as usual.

Key Points

• Iran has confirmed its new Khorramshahr ballistic missile was tested on 29 January
• Video of the test appears to show that–contrary to US claims–it was successful

Iranian state television confirmed that a Khorramshahr ballistic missile was test launched on 29 January when it broadcast footage of the event on 23 September, a day after the missile was displayed for the first time in a parade.

Iranian officials say the Khorramshahr is a liquid-fuelled missile with a range of 2,000 km. It appears to be similar to North Korea’s Hwasong-10 (KN-07), early versions of which are believed to have been transferred to Iran more than a decade ago, but designed to carry a heavier payload over a shorter range.
