Iran rejected recent United States accusations that the testing of missiles by the country violates a UN resolution and has vowed to continue the tests for the purposes of defense.
Via a statement by the US State Department on Dec. 1, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iran of test-firing missiles “capable of carrying multiple warheads” that could reach Europe. Pompeo said the test violates UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which bans Iran from undertaking “any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.”
