Trump Ranted: “Iran Test-Fired a Missile.” Today We Find Out There Was No Missile.
Saturday: Trump rants about a new “Ballistic Missile” (capitalized for some weird reason known only to the Trump-thing) “capable of reaching Israel.”

Today: we find out there was no missile. The launch was faked.
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.
