As tensions between the U.S. and Iran continue to mount, the semi-official news agency Tasnim is reporting that Iran's Revolutionary Guard has successfully conducted yet another ballistic missile test, this time from a navy vessel. Called the Hormuz 2, these latest missiles are designed to destroy moving targets at sea at ranges up to 300 km (180 miles).
Reports on the latest test quotes Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC's Aerospace Force, who confirmed that "the naval ballistic missile called Hormuz 2 successfully destroyed a target which was 250 km away."
The missile test is the latest event in a long-running rivalry between Iran and the United States in and around the Strait of Hormuz, which guards the entrance to the Gulf. About 20% of the world's oil passes through the waterway, which is less than 40 km wide at its narrowest point.

Pull the deal.......and invoke hard ass sanctions. Screw these radicals.
If things unfold as expected, the missile that Iran launches at Israel will hit somewhere else...
Anyone who believe Iran can hit a moving target with a ballistic missile launched from a ship is not very aware.
We can’t even do that. Nor would we try.
This is all BS.
We are living in a fireworks factory whilst idiots with lit road flares are running around inside it. It’s like the cold war again, but with inbred morons and and tin pot dictators instead of Soviet ideologues as the bad guys.

Uh, the Exocet class of missiles?
Is the test in violation of the agreement?
Is a guided cruise missle and not a ballistic missle.
Hint: She wasn't OURS
The US equivalent of the Exocet is the Harpoon.
They are both cruise missiles that climb and dive just before impact.
And the target was its nose cone?
