Iran tests new ballistic missile hours after showing it off at military parade --Laatz

As the title of this article mentions, Iran has recently tested out a new ballistic missile, which of course, has stirred up tensions, especially with the United States (already dealing with North Korea) even further. The missile itself is called the Khorramshahr missile and supposedly has a range of 1,250 miles as well as the capability to launch multiple warheads. In particular, the timing of this launch come at a very interesting time, especially considering the speech Trump recently gave at the UN; speaking once more on the "worst deal ever" in regards Iran's nuclear agreement as well as condemning North Korea's recent launches. Part of me wonders if this was a deliberate response to that speech? It would seem Iran's responses have been somewhat related, as  Rouhani spoke about not needing to seek permission to defend their land, as well as "promoting our defensive and military power as much as we deem necessary", which hearkens back to Trumps remarks on sovereignty. Of course, Trump has already responded, claiming Iran is working with North Korea.
