    Seems Obozo's pro terrorist aid strategy is helping Iran as we all suspected it would. I'm sure if he were still POTUS he would want to provide more aid to help their program, seems $1 Billion wasn't quite enough.

    Iran attempted to launch a cruise missile from a submarine in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday but the test failed, two U.S. officials told Fox News.

    An Iranian Yono-class “midget” submarine conducted the missile launch. North Korea and Iran are the only two countries in the world that operate this type of submarine.

    In February, Iran claimed to have successfully tested a submarine-launched missile. It was not immediately clear if Tuesday’s test was the first time Iran had attempted to launch a missile underwater from a submarine.

    North Korea in 2015 conducted a successful ballistic missile test from a submarine for the first time.

    I don't really see this as an issue.

    The Iranians have several Russian Kilo class submarines and they are more than capable of launching Kalibr and Sizzler cruise missiles.

    Did they sink themselves? Yeah...I bet they did.
