They make their own. They are an industrial country with very good engineers. A surface to air missile is 80 year old technology. I am sure they could figure it out.
At this present hour it appears that the Iranian missiles have not been terribly accurate. As an old negotiator (emphasis on 'old') I think I see an opening for cautiously reaching out a diplomatic hand for understanding. It may be the Iranians will remain adamant, at least an attempt was made to deescalate.
Of course it is possible that the Iranian missiles were simply faulty, that they intended to destroy life and limb. Much depends on Iran's leadership. They have to know that they cannot hope to win a full scale war with the US; if they are fanatics hoping the Twelfth Imam will pull off a miracle for them then the future looks dim.
It must be made clear to them that they do not have license to kill Americans, either by proxy or directly. Their extreme religious views may present an insurmountable hurdle. Still, I think an attempt needs to be made. DJT has stated his goal to withdraw from the ME; Iran holds the key to the success of that goal.

On the other hand, I have full confidence in the Iranian leadership - and their DS contacts behind the scenes as well don’t forget - to respond in the stupidest way possible

Interesting, no? The implications here are vast. Wouldn't you say?
Wasn’t it an earthquake that took down NK nuclear site?
crash mentioned by fox, waiting for updates
Har har! I understand important people going on his show; where else can they get face time? I doubt the OCA (on camera appearance) fee is that rewarding. But guests just sit as wallpaper; it is embarrassing. I wonder if anyone has tried to teach Sean the art of interviewing - or if he cares. He has been at it for years - successfully.
Had no internet since yesterday, and it’s very iffy right now, so trying to find a bit o news...
BTW had test results about cancer circulating/spreading in blood.
None.... Just wanted to tell you!
Fantastic news! God bless.
No kidding, perhaps Ukrainian derps getting out of Dodge before the wrath of President Trump.

Is it on a fault line? Is it near any Iranian sites we might want to take out?
We can probably name them already.
