IRAN THREATENS, BIG TIME – AT 11:54 A.M. ET:  We are focusing on North Korea right now, but Iran is crawling all over the Mideast.  Last week an Iranian stooge group sent a drone into Israel, setting off a brief but violent air battle.  This is a reminder of the real world.  From the Washington Free Beacon:

Iran unveiled a series of new homemade nuclear-capable ballistic missiles during military parades held over the weekend, a move that experts view as a bid to bolster the hardline ruling regime as dissidents continue efforts to stir protest.

On the heels of an encounter between an Iranian drone and Israeli forces, Iranian military leaders rolled out the latest ballistic missile technology, which includes a nuclear-capable medium-range missile that appears to share similarities with North Korean technology, according to experts.

The missiles are capable of reaching Israel even when fired from Iranian territory, raising concerns about an impending conflict between Tehran and the Jewish state that could further inflame the region.

Iranian military leaders bragged the ballistic missile "can be launched from mobile platforms or silos in different positions and can escape missile defense shields due to their radar-evading capability," according to reports in Iran's state-controlled media.

The latest technology could further inflame tensions between Israel and Iran, which funds and controls terror organizations operating along Israel's border. Concerns that this nuclear-capable technology could be shared by Iran with its terrorist proxies are fueling longstanding concerns among the Israelis that an attack is imminent.

COMMENT:  Iran is on Israel's borders, and Russian troops are in Syria.  Gee, you don't think the Obama foreign policy was a failure, do you?  Why, you warmonger!
