#1 The missile was launched from central Iran into the Sea of Oman, it says.

So it hit the water?
No dummy targets for these dummys.

Did the sats monitor the launch point?

#2 Would it be too much to assume it's going to the Houthis?

#7 How to Speak Persians

It has over 1,000 kilometers range
It goes really far but has a CEP the size of North Africa. We will be lucky to hit the ocean.

It has anti-jamming capability
In the sense of having nothing to jam because the missile has no guidance. It flies to its target by the Will of Alan(bees pee upon him).

the new weapon was a “sophisticated missile
We finally got it working, praise be to Alan(more bees).

the missile can be made ready and launched by one member of personnel in less than five minutes
It is a solid fuel missle which means it is ready to go. There is only one button so it can be launched by any monkey with a thumb.

#8 Giving the weapon to the Houthi ought to be a red line.

#10 Didn’t the Obama Administration make the KSA back off of the Houthi? Sounds like a policy that is due for review.
