SHORT THREAD

1)
 This video is footage aired by #Iran's state-TV claiming to be scenes of the Iranian frigate Jamaran firing a cruise missile & "accidentally" targeting the military Konarak vessel.

However, this is #FakeNews.
2)
 This footage is of a Norwegian Navy test missile strike apparently back in November 2013.
3)
 This entire case is very suspicious & many are questioning #Iran's claims of an "accident" taking place.

There are unconfirmed reports claiming the Jamaran frigate had long left the area.

This thread recalls the events earlier.

 “These efforts were part of a larger pro-Iran deal ‘echo chamber’ led by senior Obama administration officials who were tasked with misleading Congress about the nature of the deal.” ImageImageImageImage
