White House says ‘looking into’ Iranian ballistic missile test
White House press secretary Sean Spicer says the US administration is “looking into” reports that Iran tested a ballistic missile in disregard to a UN resolution.
“We’re aware that Iran fired that missile. We’re looking into the exact nature of it and I’ll try to have more for you later,” he tells press during a briefing.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called to renew sanctions on Iran after the reported missile test.
“Iran has again fired a ballistic missile in callous defiance of a UN resolution,” Netanyahu wrote on Facebook. “In my coming meeting in Washington with President Trump, I plan to raise the issue of renewing sanctions against Iran in relation to this and other things.”
