(CNN)US intelligence radars and sensors "picked up no indication" of an Iranian ballistic missile launch in the days surrounding a reported test, according to a Trump administration official familiar with the latest US assessment.

Iranian reports that the nation tested a new ballistic missile so far does not appear to be true, the official said, adding: "As far as we can see, it did not happen."

State-run broadcaster Press TV reported the launch on Saturday, according to footage broadcast on Iranian state television.

"Iran has released footage of the successful test-launch of its new ballistic missile, Khorramshahr, a few hours after it was unveiled during a military parade in the capital city of Tehran," Press TV said.

Where the fuck ARE they? It's their JOB! This is how shit starts that can get millions of people killed in minutes.

The buffoon-in-chief plucks some fake news from somewhere (usually Faux News) and starts a tweet storm that can have global, catastrophic consequences.
He needs a babysitter 24/7. Kelly? Mattis? Where ARE you? This asshole CAN'T be left alone. Not for one minute

Remember, if the maniac has a fit of rage or panic and decides to blow it all up, it takes FOUR (4) minutes from his order until the birds come flying out of their silos. Four (4) minutes. (oh, and those missiles can't be re-called and they can't self destruct on command)
