    Critical development.....Iran now firing ballistic missiles in the ME supposedly first at IS BUT what about at some point Israel, Jordan, KSA and Turkey.

    BREAKING: #Iran has reportedly launched balistic missiles on IS's positions near Makhmur in #Iraq for supporting Iraqi Army's offensive.


    NOTE: Iran is not an active participant in the Iraqi fighting but now is....so is Iran expanding it's hegemon reach at the expense of KSA just as it was doing in Yemen and Syria after Lebanon???
