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.
[and 85-90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni, IOW, Shiites kill twice as many per capita]
So? What are they going to do about it?
"We were being ironic.
Death to America!"
John Kerry is deeply saddened and has a very long face...........wait the last part is normal.....and the first is a lie.
Obama /Kerry will stick with the Iran Deal even if it kills the US
You mean! You mean!
President Obama is a boob?
That is unfair. Iran has right to long range missiles now that they have the right to nuclear bombs.
Obama /Kerry will stick with the Iran Deal because it kills the US.
Edited it for you
In other news, Germany violates the Treaty of Versailles, as it builds new planes and ships.
Oh wait, that was 1933.
Excerpt:
“However, the effects produced by a nuclear explosion were not fully realized until the “Johnston Island Test” in 1962. This nuclear blast had a yield of 1.4 megatons at an altitude of 250 miles. The explosion damaged a number of low earth orbit satellites and caused malfunctions and early failure of others. Another effect that was noted during the blast was a blackout up to 600 miles away of high frequency radio communications that lasted for hours. It was caused by disruption of the ionosphere. It also popped circuit breakers, street lights went out, burglar alarms rang, and power lines went down in Honolulu, about 800 miles away. In Nov. 1962, all above ground testing was halted and our testing and analysis was limited to underground testing, analysis of the existing atmospheric test data, nonnuclear simulation, and theoretical calculations.”

So, who is going to draw that red line this time and what will they do about it?
Oops, sorry. That was just a misunderstanding of the deal. We pinky swear to not do it again.
[So? What are they going to do about it?]
John Kerry will fall off another bicycle.
“Likely”????
Morons...all of em.
I’m surprised they even admit to this much.
That means there’s much more serious violations being covered over probably.
Thats offensive to boobs.
