Washington (CNN)A number of cruise missiles launched from a Russian ship and aimed at targets in Syria have crashed in Iran, two U.S. officials told CNN Thursday.

Monitoring by U.S. military and intelligence assets has concluded that at least four missiles crashed as they flew over Iran. One official said there may be casualties, but another official said this is not yet known.

This seems interesting just from looking at a map. That's quite a miss.

Supposedly they were launching them from the Caspian Sea

[Sacajaweau]

Only proves we have better aim...we hit the hospital...and the milk factory....and the Chinese embassy...

[Lucy Hamilton]

To be honest, can one really believe ANYTHING that comes from the Obama Administration? They lie so much, who knows if anything they say is the truth.

[Steely Tom]

Russian military technology standards are not quite up to those of Raytheon or Lockheed-Martin.

[Sacajaweau]

So suddenly our intelligence is great....

Obama should just call Iran and check up on his new BFF.

[InsidiousMongo]

Makes me wonder how good Russia’s SU-30 really is that they keep bragging about as being superior to the F-15E Strike Eagle.

B14...miss

C4...miss

E11..hit...you sunk my embassy

I heard that lying piece of s*** Lavrov boasting that Russkies only shoot missiles when they know they won’t miss. How do you land 4 cruise missiles in Iran if you’re aiming for something in Syria?

[Westbrook]

You don’t suppose anybody might have hacked the guidance software in real time, do you?

[American Constitutionalist]

Just like they planed, this is no accident, they want Iran to react and blame it on Israel.

[rdl6989]

My thoughts exactly. I understand the missiles had to fly over Iran to get there, but this shows their new missile is junk.

One blowed up and did no damage, the other did damage but didn’t blowed up.

They can “miss” and hit Israel, too.

The, er, Medecins sans frontiers hospital in AFG that was bombed was caring for TALIBAN wounded, not US allies.

All those countries look the same.

[cdga5for4]

Crashed in Iran? Don’t they mean dropped off?

[McGruff]

Here is the supposed flight path.
