* A report by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, obtained by Fox News, shows Iran has fired 23 ballistic missiles since the start of the nuclear deal

* While testing missiles was not outlawed in the deal, critics say Iran is flouting the spirit of the compromise
* So far, international investigators say Iran has been following the terms
* The missile tests recently caused the U.S. to impose sanctions on the country once again
* President Trump says he may pull the U.S. out of the deal if Iran doesn't agree to stricter terms, which may ban such tests
Iran has reportedly launched 23 ballistic missiles since signing the 2015 nuclear deal, a report obtained by Fox News reveals.
The report, written by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, claims that as many as 16 of these launches involved nuclear-capable missiles.
While the nuclear deal doesn't expressly ban Iran from continuing these tests, critics say continuing to launch missiles is in violation of the spirit of the program.
They say it paints a picture of Iran biding its time, perfecting their missiles so they'll be ready if they decide to restart their nuclear program again.
