Iran Missile Drill Results Exaggerated, Images Photoshopped Previously -- FOX News
TEHRAN, Iran - At first, Iran claimed it had launched three long range missiles; a pronouncement at the end of ten days of war games in the Strait of Hormuz designed to test the patience of western nations as they weigh how to sanction Iran's oil exports.
"We are able to announce that our shore-to-sea missile systems are so powerful that we can hit any target, any time, if it's necessary" announced Habibulah Sayari, Iranian Navy Commander.
Seyyed Mahmoud Moussavi, Iranian Military Drills Spokesman, stated "Both missiles hit the intended targets successfully."
It turned out the missiles weren't that long range after all.

My Comment: If this is true about their missile tests, the question then needs to be asked .... is Iran's nuclear program also an exaggeration and nothing but propaganda?

Fox is a little shy on tactics. For example:
"The Qhader missile, introduced in September, has a range of just 124 miles. The U.S. Navy's fifth fleet in Bahrain is 150 miles from Iran. Israel is four times farther."
If one reads the MEMRI translation of an Iranian article (http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/5956.htm), one can find this paragraph:
"These systems can cover most of the Strait of Hormuz if deployed and camouflaged 70 to 150 km deep into Iranian territory, or even in the Kerman province [in southeastern Iran]. The Iranian armed forces possess these systems in abundance, and they are ready for deployment."
Not exactly aiming at Bahrain.
