CNN: U.S. to refer Iran missile test to U.N. over possible violation

Washington (CNN)The State Department said Tuesday it would refer Iran's firing of a new surface-to-surface ballistic missile to the United Nations Security Council for review to determine whether the test violated a U.N. resolution.

"It's deeply concerning that this latest violation does appear to be a violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1929, and we'll obviously raise this at the [Security Council] as we have done with previous launches," State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.

"We've seen for the past years that Iran has consistently ignored U.N. Security Council resolutions," he added.

WNU Editor: Iran accepts the nuclear agreement .... but then tests a nuclear capable ballistic missile. Am I the only who sees a problem here?

Iran ignoring the deal? no way!

Bob Huntley said...

Iran learned to not believe the politicians and governments of the West long ago and entered into "talks" and an "agreement" to give the modest appearance of participating and to delay. In truth the only way to stop Iran's nuclear development was all out war and nobody wants to do that because Iran may actually have a bomb already and if attacked, use it on Israel.

In the event of a rudimentary nuclear attack on Israel soil .the response will be catastrophic is believed that Israel is in possession of 80 to 200 nuclear weapons.
