IRGC continued with their ballistic missile exercise today. They fired an anti-ship ballistic missile 1800 km at a target in the Indian Ocean. It seems the missile impacted "dangerously close" (as defined by Fox News) to a commercial freighter. The USS Nimitz was about 100 miles from the target. The freighter? Twenty miles.

edit: haha. Fox News changed the story from "dangerously close" to "close".

Hitting a stationary target with known coordinates is one thing, but hitting a moving target without real-time target acquisition is another.
