Iran's supposed missile tests appear to have been nothing more than a bluff. One that may seriously backfire as the video and photos circulated around the world appear to have been nothing more than multiple views of the same missile launched, photo edits of same, or recycled video or photos from prior launches.
It's the kind of thing I've been warning about since the news of the launches started this past Wednesday. See here and here.
Indeed, there is a pattern to Iran's pronouncements relating to their war games and missile launches and various other military matters. They've consistently exaggerated their capabilities.
None of this means that the Iranians don't pose a threat. They do. We can still be suckered into a false sense of security because of underestimating what the Iranians can and would do.
The Iranians still refuse to let anyone access their nuclear program, which is hellbent upon obtaining sufficient nuclear materials to build nuclear weapons.
