Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday that Irans testing of space-launch vehicles is really cover for the further development of nuclear-capable ICBMs.

Such ICBM testing violates United Nations rules prohibiting such activity, Pompeo told reporters, in describing Tehrans actions as provocative in nature. The secretary also said the Trump administration planned to rally countries in the region to help hold Iran to account for its suspected nuclear weapons-related work.

I think the plan by saying the obvious to the dimwit reporters is a lot like trumps wall plan. At the end of the day if dems and thier media whores refuse to give money for the wall trump declares an emergency and says that he warned them and now had no other alternative. When iran keeps it up at some point there will be an allied first strike. He is merely preparing the media for it. Had no choice tried to warn you of the dangers....
