Expert panel says Iran missile test violated UN ban
The testing of a ballistic missile by Iran on October 10 was capable of delivering a nuclear warhead, a team of sanctions monitors say in a confidential new report, according to Reuters.
If true, the missile test violates a UN Security Council resolution.

“On the basis of its analysis and findings the Panel concludes that Emad launch is a violation by Iran of paragraph 9 of Security Council resolution 1929,” the panel says in its report.
“The Panel assesses that the launch of the Emad [missile] has a range of not less than 1,000 km with a payload of at least 1,000 kg and that Emad was also a launch ‘using ballistic missile technology’,” the report adds.
