Reuters: U.S. warns Iran on space launches, Tehran rejects concerns
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States issued a pre-emptive warning to Iran on Thursday against pursuing three planned space rocket launches that it said would violate a U.N. Security Council resolution because they use ballistic missile technology.
Iran rejected the warning, issued by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, saying its space vehicle launches and missile tests were not violations.
Pompeo said Iran planned to launch in the coming months three rockets, called Space Launch Vehicles (SLV), that he said incorporate technology “virtually identical” to what is used in intercontinental ballistic missiles.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. Iran is not going to listen to the warnings from the U.S. Secretary of State.

Pompeo the pompous buffoon.
One wonders if spouts this nonsense to ingratiate himself with the Orange doofus. Most likely.
Da da comrade, iran is friend ,no?
"The United States will not stand by and watch the Iranian regime’s destructive policies place international stability and security at risk,"
That is exactly what America will do. Pompeo is one of those dolts who loves to hear himself talk.
As far as "...destructive policies place international stability and security at risk", what the hell did the Iraq invasion do?
Gas on Mike, gas on. It's the only thing you are good at.
Good grief
I might be witnessing the end of the world wow
Consider WW2
The German General Staff considered they would be ready by the late 1940s for war.
Hitler pushed for earlier and got his way.
Germany had full employment, but its rearmament program was busting the bank. Some people have argued that Germany had to go to war or face economic collapse during peace time, which is something a socialist dictator like Hitler could not countenance.
Before Trump was elected and went back on Obama's deal done under the cover of night, Iran had dock strikes and other labor unrest. They cannot pay stevedores to offload imports. They cannot stop Tehran form sinking a foot a year due to resource mismanagement. But those old white men will keep launching rockets and waging war until their economy crashes.
“And what the President was doing, as he expressed from his heart, is to respond to the tragedy and the heeneousness of gassing children and using chemical weapons that went beyond the international convention of using chemical weapons.”
