Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS officials say that Iran has conducted a ballistic missile test in a violation of a United Nations resolution, Fox News reports.
The launch occurred on Sunday at a test site outside Semnan, about 140 miles east of Tehran, the report says. The Iranians are said to have fired a Khorramshahr medium-range ballistic missile. Officials told Fox that it flew 600 miles before exploding, in a failed test of a reentry vehicle.
According to UN resolution 2231, which went into effect on July 20, 2015, Iran is “called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.”
