White House says it won’t be surprised if Iran launches more missiles
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Iran is “aggressively working to enhance its ballistic missile capability” and may launch more test missiles in addition to rockets launches earlier today and yesterday.
“We will continue to redouble our efforts with allies and partners in the region to limit Iran’s ability to develop their missile program outside of international conventions,” he tells reporters at a briefing.
“We know Iran is in a season for carrying out a number of military activities. It would not be a surprise if there are additional launches over next several days in addition to launches we’ve seen this week,” he adds.
