striking distance. >> reporter: well, certainly south korea right away, of course, because almost anything north korea has would be within range of south korea. obviously depending on the launch point in north korea. so that's a big concern. and that's really what they believe kim is doing right now, sending this message, i still have capability, i can put you at risk. the president of the united states may be trying to downplay it so he can keep his views that there are really negotiations, he can keep those views going in the world community. he can continue to say that. but north korea definitely sending that message to south korea and japan, that they still have a capability to launch and it's a message i would say is being heard. >> and barbara, before you go, now back to iran where a u.s. official at least is saying that they have test fired a medium range ballistic missile? >> that's right.
