Nikki Haley shows ‘concrete’ proof Iran broke missile agreement

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Thursday showed “concrete” proof that Iran is violating UN resolutions by supplying weapons to a rebel group in Yemen.
“In this warehouse is concrete evidence of illegal Iranian weapons proliferation, gathered from direct military attacks on partners in the region,” she said, standing in front of a charred ballistic missile the size of a car during a press conference at Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling in Washington, DC.
Gesturing to the massive rocket behind her, she argued for stronger international sanctions against Tehran.
“These are the recovered pieces of a missile fired by Houthi militants from Yemen into Saudi Arabia,” she said.
“The missile’s intended target was a civilian airport in Riyadh through which tens of thousands of passengers travel each day.

Who could have foreseen this? Maybe someone with more than half a brain cell, which doesn’t include most Democrats.
Greatest UN Ambassador since Jeanne Kirkpatrick.
You mean they buffaloed Obama, Kerry, and the libs? No way! /s
Everyone knows the truth. The Obama administration like most previous administrations, knew the truth but kicked the can down the road. Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel has been preaching the truth for years but it has been too convenient to ignore his dire warnings and attack him for being an alarmist.
Thanks TigerLikesRooster. Gosh, it's almost as if Soetero's, Biden's, Clinton's, and Kerry's policy of getting those sanctions lifted on a terrorism-supporting, nuclear-weapons-seeking enemy state with a irredeemably hostile attitide toward the US wasn't a good idea.

The Saudi Gazette reporting and what I have read in the UN report differs from Haley’s words.
A confidential report to the council says UN officials had examined debris from missiles fired at Saudi Arabia which pointed to a “common origin” but there was no firm conclusion as to whether they came from an Iranian supplier.
It does remind me of weapons of mass destruction...
And although the Iran deal is a disaster and must be dealt with, I’m not in favor of another war. And Nikki should stick with banning flags, lol, that’s about her speed.
Nikki turned out to be a great pick to represent us at the U.N. Time and time again she’s shown a lot of guts. Jeff Sessions, not so much.
“”It does remind me of weapons of mass destruction...””
First thing that came to my mind. What? Colin Powell speaking at the UN about WMD.

“I wish I had not been involved in it,” says Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a longtime Powell adviser who served as his chief of staff from 2002 through 2005. “I look back on it, and I still say it was the lowest point in my life.”
Wilkerson is one of several insiders interviewed for the CNN Presents documentary “Dead Wrong — Inside an Intelligence Meltdown.” The program pieced together the events leading up to the mistaken WMD intelligence that was presented to the public. A presidential commission that investigated the pre-war WMD intelligence found much of it to be “dead wrong.”
“”Powell’s speech, delivered on February 5, 2003, made the case for the war by presenting U.S. intelligence that purported to prove that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Wilkerson says the information in Powell’s presentation initially came from a document he described as “sort of a Chinese menu” that was provided by the White House.””
