Iran present at N. Korean Missle Launches

Just heard on CNN that Iranian officials were present at the North Korean missle launches. So are they in cahoots with there Nuclear programs and there missle programs.

Looking for some links on the internet, haven't found any yet.

Found the CNN Article

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 worriso

This is something that I think most of the world won't like hearing.

North Korea-Iran ties are of even more concern now as the militant Islamic group Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, is trading rocket fire with Israel, Hill and Republican Sen. George Allen of Virginia said during the hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

So I guess it's just a matter of time before missles from the Iran and North Korea missle programs start raining down on Isreal.

Wow, this is the first I have heard of any connection between the two countries. I wonder why this isn't at the top of FNC's queue?

LOL:

"The North Korean launch of the Taepodong in fact does have some relationship to Iran, in that we believe the Iranians helped develop the upper stage of the North Korean rocket, or that Iranian technology helped develop it," Craig Covault, senior editor of the authoritative U.S. magazine "Aviation Week and Space Technology," explains.

OK, what one is it then?

He hedging his bets.

"Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill, the chief U.S. negotiator with Pyongyang, replied: "Yes, that is my understanding" and it is "absolutely correct""

Oh, I now see...now I believe

Cheers
