FOX News: Iran's supposed missile launch was fake, US officials say
EXCLUSIVE: Iranian state television released video footage Friday claiming to show the launch of a new type of medium-range ballistic missile, a few hours after it was displayed during a military parade in Tehran.
But it turns out Iran never fired a ballistic missile, sources say.
The video released by the Iranians was more than seven months old – dating back to a failed launch in late January, which resulted in the missile exploding shortly after liftoff, according to two U.S. officials.
President Trump had originally responded to the reported launch in a late-Saturday tweet, saying, “Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have!”

Iran’s New Ballistic Missile Can Hit Multiple Targets: Commander (Tasnim News Agency). A MIRV missile is used in carrying a nuclear payload, not a conventional one, and I doubt that the Iranians have the expertise to pull off such a test. The video that the Iranians released that U.S. officials are saying is fake can be seen in the above tweet.
