In response to a question from military personnel at MacDill AFB, Fla., Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld expressed concern about weapons entering Iraq from Iran. Saying weapons from Iran “of recent vintage” did not “just walk” into Iraq, Rumsfeld questioned the commitment of Tehran to keeping arms out of the country. “They were brought in. With what degree of complicity or lack of complicity of the government is something that one can’t know with certainty at this stage.”
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
