Where would they get the cruise missiles?

Their economy is in freefall, their oil is restricted, their people are in turmoil. And somehow a dozen cruise missiles appear out of nowhere to make a strike.

Yes, anti-Trump bad actors need a war to distract and stop the takedown of their network.

Iran copied a Russian cruiae missile design. See here:

It is hard to keep up with debunking the conspiracy junk from the willfully uninformed. Do some research, people.

Iran produces two types of cruise missiles

The first is a reverse engineered copy of 5 Russian Cold War era nuclear tipped Iran somehow smuggled out of the Ukraine in the 2001 time frame

The Russian missiles were inert models used for training technicians but were otherwise fully functional -including the nuclear warhead

Iran has also reverse engineered the Lockheed RQ 170 drone given to them by Barak Obama and now has converted a production variant of it into a very effective nuclear capable stealth cruise missile

Iran recently launched one into Israeli air space and Israel had significant difficulty shooting it down due to stealth capabilities

The North Korean economy is in far worse shape than Iran’s - people are actually starving to death in North Korea. And yet the country has come up with ballistic missile mounted nukes. Note that the Iranians have fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia from Yemen at a cost of about $1m per missile. Iran is not a sub-Saharan country. It is a fairly significant power with a population of 80m people, that held off an Iraq funded by the wealth of the combined Gulf kingdoms for almost a decade, during the Iran-Iraq war. It cannot defeat the US in conventional battle. But it could probably unify the Middle East under its rule in fairly short order.

Really?, well lets start with who are Iran’s allies, then how about the billions the Obama administration gave them and lastly I notice that NK which has been in an economic free-fall for decades has plenty of missiles to launch. Not sure what happened but regimes like this cuba venezuala, iran always have money for weapons

I believe Iran has had cruise missiles for many years.

It’s Yemen that doesn’t have cruise missiles. Where did they get them?

“Where would they get the cruise missiles?”

Even a cursory web search shows Iran has several models of cruise missiles (Meshkat, Soumar, etc.) which can attack KSA. Iran has thousands of cruise missiles.

Iran manufactures short, intermediate and long range ground to ground cruise missles. Nuclear capable they claim.
