Tehran has not confirmed the rumors of Russian cruise missiles that supposedly fell on the territory of Iran after they were launched on October 8 by the Caspian flotilla.
Iran's FARS news agency reported with reference to source at the Ministry of Defense of Iran that there was no information about the alleged inaccuracy in the launch of Russian cruise missiles.
It was also said that the appearance of such reports in Western media was fact of psychological pressure.
Spokespeople for the Russian Defense Ministry also denied the information. Maria Zakharova, a representative of the Foreign Ministry of Russia, said that the reporting from CNN about Russian cruise missiles allegedly falling on the territory of Iran was like "waste water."
To crown it all, even high-ranking US officials condemned the US network for generating the rumors. US State Department spokesman John Kirby said he could not confirm the information. Pentagon officials did not know either what kind of sources exactly CNN referred to in the report.
That said, I'm sure they are at least 10X more reliable that CNN.
Exactly. Test everything. Media worldwide are corrupt.
CNN must’ve just wilted under Russian criticism.
Not long ago they thought the Russians were incapable of unfair criticism. Especially when directed at Republican presidents or congresses.
The way Iran and Russia responded after the attack almost makes me think 4 did go astray.
The Russians are, of course, going to deny it, because they’re trying to sell these products to raise money.
Notice Iran didn’t deny the report right away, with their usual anti-American venom.
Yeah. I have no source I trust regarding this story. Anything is possible.
Why speculate? It’s up to the Pentagon to present evidence that they did go astray or to admit they did not.
I can see either of these being true. Our government lies about everything, almost constantly. Even more often than a woman of reproductive age! Our side would lie to us and the world to spread distrust, even just for fun, or to try to hurt Russian attacks on AQ and ISIS.
And on the other hand, back in the 60s, Russia told many outlandish lies about machinery, jets, bombs, bombers, and their space program.
It was so well known and laughable that it was a subject on Gilligans island. Two Cosmonauts landed on the island by mistake and finally after getting picket up by a sub, the castaways heard on the radio that the Cosmonaut had landed 2 meters away from his intended landing point in Russia.
And then compare both sources. CNN, and Pravda. NO winner there either.
Im taking a wait and see on this one.
The Russians are definitely more reliable than CNN.
Go Russkies! We hate CNN too!
“I once worked with a defector from the Soviet Union who said....”
Yeah, sure you did. And I am Prince Phillips valet.
Everything is broken in Russia? No...everything is broken in the US via your idol Obama.
Am Vietnam Vet and American. And you are?
Who are you to question my honesty?
I did work with a defector in an IT shop. So what? Why do you have some kind of a problem with that?
For all you know, he isn’t a vet or an American. How often do you have someone here go out of their way to specify that they are “American”?
Exactly right! And I wonder why did he take exception to a statement about a small experience that I had years ago.

Ya what an insult , they dropped into the sea a few miles from the ships , what a nerve
