- 8 years ago
Iran has carried out a new medium range ballistic missile test in breach of two United Nations Security Council resolutions, a senior United States official told Fox News on Monday.
According to the source, the test was held November 21 near Chabahar, a port city in southeast Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan Province near the border with Pakistan. The launch took place from a known missile test site along the Gulf of Oman, reported Fox News. Shortly after the previous, October 10th missile test, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Iran likely violated UN sanctions , but stressed that the test would not affect the implementation of the deal reached with world powers. Nevertheless, the United States, Britain, France and Germany subsequently called for the United Nations Security Council's Iran sanctions committee to take action over the missile test.
