Was the Iranian Ballistic Missile Test a Fake? From The Hill:
Iran's ballistic missile launch was fake: reportIran’s recent ballistic missile launch was fake and never took place, U.S. officials told Fox News on Monday.
Iran state television claimed that the nation had successfully fired a missile and aired footage of the launch on Friday, but that video was actually of a launch that took place in January, according to Fox News.
That missile exploded shortly after launch.
President Trump had responded to the launch in a tweet Saturday.
"Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea," Trump tweeted. "Not much of an agreement we have!"
