Iran Test Fires Nuclear Capable Missiles

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) test fired several ballistic missiles from their silos at several bases around the country Tuesday morning in a show of force which accompanied their latest large-scale maneuvers. U.S. President Barack Obama declared the tests to be a violation of Iran’s “international obligations” while a handful of other Western government issued less harsh comments.

Reports in Kurdish media outlets operating in Iraq and Syria indicate that the Islamic State (IS) terror militia is beginning to see internal rifts, including violent clashes between rival factions. The clashes center on friction between local Syrians and foreign volunteers over the distribution of weapons, money and slaves taken during battles with other factions.

A female Palestinian terrorist in her fifties was shot dead during her attempt to stab Israeli Border Police officers on Haguy street in Jerusalem’s Old City on Tuesday morning. The incident came a few hours after another female terrorist was arrested at a checkpoint in the West Bank after the knife she intended to use to attack Israeli security forces was found during a search of her belongings.
