Hypersonic missiles are stirring fears in the Iran-Israel conflict. Here's why

BARCELONA (AP) — Iran is boasting that it has hypersonic missiles and says it already has begun firing the cutting-edge weapons at Israel.

There is no evidence that Iran has unleashed the missiles, and experts are skeptical of the claim.

But the use of these fast-moving projectiles could test Israel’s vaunted missile-defense system and alter the course of the fighting between the two bitter enemies.

If that's what they're supplying them with, they may already be near the launchers that can fire them.

a basically proxy war by N Korea. Un is tired of being shuttled the children's table. He wants to make as much of a disaster as trump does... and they're both as capable of understanding the consequences as the other. trump will make America the new N Korea... an isolated, shunned, misfit of a country. Interesting and on guard against only because trump will readily use nukes. Wants to use nukes. Is dying to use nukes on someone. As much as we have fought against nuclear weapons thru the decades, he wants to use them. And Un is right there on the same par as he is. If Iran can take what N. Korea can offer and make it work correctly (which Un seems to have a problem doing right now), he'll give Iran any and all, just to share in the credit for destruction of some country, Un doesn't really care which one it is, truth be told... just like trump.
