US envoy says recent Iran missile test violated UN sanctions
US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power says Iran’s recent ballistic missile test was “a clear violation” of UN sanctions.
Power says that after reviewing available information, the United States has confirmed that the medium-range ballistic missile launched on October 10 was “inherently capable of delivering a nuclear weapon.”
She says this violated a UN Security Council resolution banning such launches.
