They show us their stuff.....we should show them ours. Shoot the suckers down. Every dam one of them. All you’d have to say is “We were testing at the same time.”

They must be getting scared that they will be attacked. This is a typical reflex response of someone that knows they are about to get there butts kicked.

U.S. says Iran test-fired two missile rounds

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iran has test-fired two rounds of missiles, including a single medium-range Shahab-3 missile capable of hitting Israel, but does not appear to have tested new or enhanced technology, U.S. officials said on Thursday.

Officials from the Defense Department and U.S. intelligence agencies said the two tests involved between seven and 10 missiles altogether and took place within hours of each other on Wednesday.

Tehran said it tested its second round of missiles on Thursday, but U.S. officials said both rounds were fired on Wednesday. They were both completed by the time U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates spoke to reporters at the Pentagon early on Wednesday afternoon, according to defence officials.

"There were two firings, the second of which involved a single missile," said one defence official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the topic involves classified information.

News of the missile tests roiled the world oil market. Rumours of a third test helped drive crude oil prices up by $6 a barrel on Thursday afternoon.

But U.S. officials said there was no sign that a third test had taken place. "There were two firings. That's it. That's all there's been," the defence official said.

Officials said the firings appeared to be conducted in conjunction with Iranian military exercises and may also have included short-range weapons designed for use against ships in the Gulf.

"It does appear that they had a small military exercise last evening, very small," an intelligence official said.

Multiple Targets Acquired - Sir !

By test do they mean simply launch the rocket over the straight and let it land where it may with no idea whatsoever how far it went and where it's trajectory placed it.
I doubt Iran had any ships (row boats?) in the area to verify where it landed. So what kind of test was this. Perhaps one where they could verify the rocket motor did not blow up upon launch. Who knows.

What is the TARGETING ACCURACY of their missile warheads? THAT is the important number.
