Trump - Fooled by FAKE NEWS: Tweeted About an Iran Missile Launch That Never Actually Happened




Over the weekend, Iranian state TV released a video showing a new missile launch in the country. President Trump then fired off an angry tweet, implying that the so-called Iran Deal wasn’t working. The only problem? The US intelligence community now says that there’s no evidence Iran conducted a new missile test. And that video? It’s from January.

............................



“As far as we can see, it did not happen,” an unnamed source told CNN about the missile launch. US intelligence radars and sensors are designed to pick up any such test and the source said they “picked up no indication” that a test had been conducted.
