US: Iran Missile Test 'Likely' Broke Resolution

However, test is not in violation of nuclear agreement reached in July, official says

Iran's test this weekend of a new surface-to-surface ballistic missile "likely" violated a U.N. resolution, an administration official told CNN on Monday.

Based on information the administration has so far, the test appears to be in violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1929, which stipulates that Iran cannot engage in any activities related to ballistic missiles.

The administration official emphasized, however, that the test is not in violation of the nuclear agreement reached in July between Iran, the U.S. and five other world powers because that accord is focused on restricting Iran's path to a nuclear weapon.

A newer U.N. Security Council resolution, number 2231, implementing the deal and banning Iran from engaging in activities related to ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads is not yet in effect.

Sorry for the double-posting, all. I’figured out that impatience on my part - not waiting for the first click on ‘Post’ to take before hitting it again is what caused it.

Mea Maxima Culpa.

Iran could carpet bomb American troops and it wouldn’t break the agreement.

Iran could post on the front of every newspaper in the US “THIS IS THE WORST DEAL YOU GUYS EVER MADE!! SUCKERS!!”

and it would not stop the agreement.

Like that blond said a few months ago, the fact they are holding American captives for no reason doesn’t affect the treaty nor should it.

nobody ever asked why it shouldn’t.

There is no agreement. No one has signed yet. But aren’t we all shocked to find Iran acting in violation of commitments made?

Oh, the test did break the resolution all right, but the Iranians never meant to keep the agreement anyway.

The next ones will be aimed at Tel Aviv, Berlin and Paris, with a moderate-yield “dirty” bomb.

The only reason one would not hit Washington or New York would be because the missile could not reach that far.

And by the way, those missiles that were aimed at Syria and hit Iran instead? No accident. That was just a little side warning to Iran to watch their step, the Russians could hit them just as easily.

Valerie Jarret is an Iranian agent and no one can do squat about it.

I think that USA are the only ones who are going to sign the agreement anyway. Certainly Iran doesn’t have to sign anything.

lol. In a room alone. Maybe we’ll forge Iran’s signature for them.

i’ve never been more embarrassed of my president in my life.

Carter was a raving success compared to this guy.

America must adhere to the “Agreement”, but Iran gets to violate it.

Just another country that bought the blackmail goods on Obama.

The Democrat Party knows all about this and won’t tell Obama to resign.

They would destroy our country before they would let anything hurt their precious party.

Be sure to thank them for that.
