No Surprise Missiles

In case anyone was wondering, those missiles that were fired by the Houthi rebels were not made by them.  When it first happened, the Houthis showed 3 missiles that were supposed to have been produced in Yemen.  I said, at that time, that Yemen was not known for its missile production, and it likely got the missiles from its best buddy, Iran.  Yesterday, the U.S. put on display components of the missiles that launched against targets in Saudi Arabia, indicating they had been made in Iran.  I wish they had not said how they knew they were made in Iran because the next ones made there will not be produced in a way that makes them so easily identifiable.  Children could have come to the conclusion that missiles with parts stamped by Iranian companies - with their company logos on them - were probably from Iran.  It would have been better to say that analysis shows the parts were made in Iran and leave it at that.
