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.

[Psalm 144]

“22 out of 26 Russian cruise missiles hit their targets. CIA and KGB are arguing about the other 4.”

You know who are not arguing about it and who don’t care?

The Washington/Ankara/Riyadh jihadi proxies who were hit.

:-)

Two US Officials....if true, why the anonymity?

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.

Correct. Israel bombs a school where jihadists have set up rocket launchers, admonition from Washington was swift and precise.
USA blows up a hospital and there’s narry a peep.
Russia misses a whole country and I’ve yet to hear a word.
It’s all who the media is rooting for.

“Somebody is lying. Question is who.”

I am sure our resident ObamaCon drones will tell us.

Iran is Homobama's greatest ally!

This Means War!!

I still say that most of the missiles landed in the sea a few miles from the ships

[WKUHilltopper]

Should we believe anything coming out of CNN? It’s not like they have even a decent truth track record.

[minnesota_bound]

Have them “accidentally” hit the the Iranian gov’t leaders followed by bunker busters hitting the nuclear weapon sites.

[Lucy Hamilton]

Yes and the media are always rooting for the wrong side.

[McGruff]

I forgot. We promised to defend Iran from attack. Hope they don’t hold us to that. :)

[Southack]

Yes, but you’d look smarter if you watched the videos of the hits.

[Chgogal]

Hmm, I didn't know that Russia's Navy is politically correct and hires blind people, because how the hell do you aim for Syria and hit Iran? I'll stand corrected if CNNs report is correct.

[Southack]

Yup, someone is lying about 4 of the 26 cruise missiles fired.

Pretty small argument, though. Everyone agrees that 22 cruise missiles hit their targets.

The entire debate is over the over 4 either missing or hitting.

[BeadCounter]

They weren’t that far off there targets, just the next country.

[VanShuyten]

“...all 26 missiles launched from four missile ships struck their targets,”

Which anti-Iranian minority group lives there? Kurds? Azeris? Zoroastrians?

This could be payback for using Iranian airspace.

[BeadCounter]

Everyone knows the other 22 hit their targets, snicker.

>How do you land 4 cruise missiles in Iran if you’re aiming for something in Syria?

Engine failure would do it. Not unheard of.

As long as Ivan is taking out the islam trash it’s all good.

[Parmy]

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?

Iran! Syria! Come see; come saw! Six to one; al half dozen to the other.

As Hillary says, "What difference does it make?"

[rhubarbk]

LOL

[SuperLuminal]

Excellent news.
