Iranians Witnessed North Korean Missile Tests

The State Department confirmed that North Korea's recent flurry of missile launches was observed by "one or more" Iranians.

Asked at a U.S. Senate hearing about reports that Iranians witnessed the July 4 tests, Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill, the chief U.S. negotiator with Pyongyang, replied: "Yes, that is my understanding" and it is "absolutely correct" that the relationship is worrisome.

Hill's comments are believed to be the first public U.S. confirmation that Iranian representatives observed the seven tests, which involved one launch of a long-range ballistic missile, which failed soon after being fired, and six tests of short and medium-range missiles.

Hill said the six succeeded in hitting their target range.

At this point the level of coordination between these two rogue regimes should be apparent to all but the Clueproof™. There is, of course, no way of getting that through to that particular group.
