the dynamics of the test will be interesting; I will not be surprised of
a trajectory tangent to some US warship security circle, leading to a
propaganda win-win for Iran: either USN keep nerves (and Iran, as we
see, claimed stealth) or shot down the missile (allowing Iranian (ab)use
of a renewed "robocruiser" argument & propaganda tool)

Best regards from Italy,

Sounds like typical 3rd world-style corruption and inefficiency.

>Iran test fires missile and unveils nuclear breakthrough:

The stealth missile sounds like yet another great Iranian breakthrough in
imaginary weaponry. How do they hide the launch plume?
