Russian Missiles Aimed At Syria CrashIn Iran

A Russian ship apparently launched some cruise missiles at targets in Syria but

missed, and the missiles crashed in Iran, reports CNN

(http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/08/politics/russian­missiles­syria­landed­iran/). The

media outlet cites two U.S. officials for the information.

Russian missiles crash in IranU.S. intelligence and military assets have reportedly been monitoring the situation

and say that four or possibly even more missiles crashed while they were flying over

Iran. One of the officials said there might be casualties, although another said they

don't know yet if there are any casualties.

At this point it isn't clear where the missiles crashed in Iran. Officials reportedly said

the Russian ships that fired the missiles are in the southern part of the Caspian Sea.

This means the probably path for missiles fired into Syria would be through both Iran

and Iraq. Iran's FARS news agency, which CNN describes as "semi­official," said

neither Iran nor Russia has confirmed the information provided by the two U.S.

officials yet.

26 Russian missiles hit their targetsRussia has been using a fairly new model of cruise missile called the Kaliber, and this

is the first time Moscow has used it in combat. On Wednesday, Russian Defense

Minister Sergey Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin that the 26 missiles their four

ships had fired all hit their targets, missing all civilian areas. Putin reportedly

congratulated Shoigu for the missiles' performance.

According to CNN, it's not clear if the missiles Shoigu spoke of on Wednesday are the

same as the ones referenced by the U.S. officials reporters spoke with today. The

media outlet reports that the four missiles the U.S. mentioned could have been

launched after the conversation between Shoigu and Putin was broadcast on Russian

TV.

Russia could see casualties in SyriaU.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter warned the UN that Russia would probably suffer

casualties over the next several days as it becomes more and more involved in Syria.

Carter also called out Moscow for what he said was "increasingly unprofessional

behavior." The comment followed a move from a Russian fighter jet, which crossed

into Turkish airspace this week "without warning" following some of Russia's missile

launches into Syria.

Carter emphasized that the U.S. would not work with Russia militarily in Syria but

also that they needed to come to some sort of agreement to avoid accidents between

their forces over Syria. The two sides have different agendas there, with the U.S.

targeting ISIS there and Russia backing Syrian leader Bashar al­Assad. Carter also

said Russia "has the opportunity to change course and do the right thing" but that he

doesn't know if they will.

LOL. This is such a primitive lie, only an American "journalist" would fall for it. Even StateDepartment "couldn't confirm" this CNN concoction (based on "undisclosed source", noless).

I'm very disappointed to discover that this particular website actually posts thesame distorted lies about Russia that the mainstream media throughout thewestern nations repeat on a daily basis. These accusations have been provenfalse over, and over, again and again. And it's not Russia that's being theaggressor, nor invading Ukraine, nor any other country like the U.S. and theirNATO allies.
