Breaking: Iran test fires ballistic missile

In an exclusive by  Fox News it was reported that Iran has test-fired a ballistic missile for the first time this year. And folks, this could be the start of something big!

It's been over a year since Iran test-fired a ballistic missile and it's clearly in defiance just months after President Trump pulled us out of the crappy nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran, and right before his administration slapped on new sanctions.

The missile test was reported to Fox News by three U.S. officials with knowledge about the launch.

The missile test was of an Iranian Fateh-110 short-range ballistic missile. Coinciding with the launch, a large-scale naval exercise by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps was taking place involving over 50 gunboats in the Strait of Hormuz. They were rehearsing "swarm" tactics which could potentially shut down the vital waterway, through which 30 percent of the world's oil passes each year. But to shut it down, that would also put a damper on Iranian oil exportation.

The U.S. military publicly confirmed the naval activity, but the missile test from their military base in Bandar-e-Jask in southern Iran was not previously reported. The launch was detected by a U.S. spy satellite, a piece of equipment jihadis do not yet possess.

According to the anonymous officials [requested due to the sensitivity of the information] the anti-ship Fateh-110 Mod 3 flew over 100 miles on a flight path over the Strait of Hormuz to a test range in the Iranian desert.

No U.S. assets were in danger nor in the area when the lunatics conducted the test. The guided-missile destroyer USS The Sullivans [named after the famed 5 Sullivan brothers who all perished in World War II changing the protocol whereby siblings cannot serve aboard the same vessel] had been escorting other vessels through the strait in recent days.

A Pentagon spokesperson decline to speak about the launch thus causing one to wonder why he isn't referred to as a Pentagon mute-person.

The top American commander for U.S. forces in the Middle East told the press Iran's naval activity was meant to "send a message" to the United States.

The country is now standing by for the follow-up tweet by President Trump.
