US: Iran rocket test breaches U.N. resolution - RTRS
|The US said late-Thursday that Iran’s rocket test breached the UN Security Council resolution because of its potential use in ballistic missile development, Reuters reports.
Iranian state television showed footage of the firing of the rocket that can deliver satellites into orbit.
The US State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert noted: "We would consider that a violation of UNSCR 2231. We consider that to be continued ballistic missile development. ... We believe that what happened overnight, in the early morning hours here in Washington, is inconsistent with the Security Council resolutions."
