Nervousness in the US military leadership: Iran has conducted a missile test not far from US warships. The Americans speak of a provocation. However, Iran had warned all ships to stay away from the region in the Persian Gulf.

A few days ago Iran has carried out missile tests near three Western warships, stated a US military representative. According to Tuesdays information was the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman one of these warships. Also commercial vessels were during the Iranian missile tests nearby. Although none of the missiles were fired towards a ship, the incident raised concerns with the US military.

“We see these launchings in such close proximity to the ships as highly provocative,” said the military official who was initially not authorized to give his name in public, as AFP reports. He confirmed a report by NBC News, after one of the rockets came as close as 1500 meters to the US aircraft carrier, who crossed the Strait of Hormuz between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Therefore, a French frigate and a US destroyer were also in the area.

According to the US military the rockets were fired from an Iranian naval vessel from Omani waters. The incident thus occurred on Saturday. Shortly before the Iranian army had announced a military exercise with live ammunition on the radio and ships were asked to stay away.

Lwkmd!! I think the name of the missile is Emad missile and it is precision guided missile which has a range of about 1,500km or 1,060 meter range.
It's not even ICBM class. How I wish the missile mistakenly hit American's Ship and see how America would skin Iran out Well as for Isreal, Isreal doesn't need to worry. Isreal already have ABMD which is Arrow-3. It can knock out any Ballistic missile from the space, not only that, Isreali Arrow-3 missile defense uses Kinetic energy to intercept incoming missiles which makes it Hit-to-kill unlike Russian's S-400 which uses warhead to intercept and not hit-to-kill
