These missiles are a long-standing threat. They are also a source of contention between Iran and America.
Here’s What You Need to Remember: Iran is continuing to develop increasingly long-range ballistic missiles and is firing some shorter-range missiles in combat despite demands from the U.S. government that the Islamic republic totally give up any weapons that could, in theory, carry a nuclear warhead.
On Sept. 8 and Oct. 1, 2018, Iran launched Zulfiqar, Quim-1 and Fateh-110 rockets at enemies in Iraqi Kurdistan. The strikes together represent the most intensive Iranian missile attacks in nearly 20 years. The October strike, involving Zulfiqar and Qiam-1 rockets, targeted Islamic State militants near the eastern Syrian border town of Abu Kamal. The volley of Fateh-110 missiles in September struck Iranian Kurdish dissident groups based in Iraqi Kurdistan, killing at least 17 and wounding scores of people, including women and children.

Here s What You Need to Remember: If the Trump administration truly wanted a diplomatic deal to curtail Iran s missiles, it wouldn t have torn up the JCPOA. The administration wants fewer arms-control regimes, even if rolling back decades of painstakingly negotiated agreements means a much greater risk of an out-of-control arms race that could end with nuclear war.

Welcome to KAZU s weekly news roundup for 5/7/21. Here you ll find the top local stories of the week and a few national stories from NPR.
Monterey County could move into the Yellow Tier next Wednesday. A recent drop in the county’s case rate puts it on track to enter the less restrictive tier in the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. But all of the metrics used to monitor the spread of COVID-19 in communities must remain stable or drop. A move into the Yellow Tier would mean restaurants and gyms can expand indoor operations to 50% and bars could open indoors at 25% capacity. We will find out whether the county moves next Tuesday. Santa Cruz County s COVID-19 case rate missed the mark for the Yellow Tier again this week, which means the soonest it could be eligible is May 19.
