Security Adviser Flynn Says Iran 'On Notice' After Missile Test

Flynn said the ballistic missile launch on Sunday was in defiance of a UN Security Council resolution that called on Iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles created to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons.

"President Trump has severely criticized the various agreements reached between Iran, the Obama administration, as well as the United Nations, as being weak and ineffective", he added.

'No longer will Iran be given a pass for its repeated ballistic missile violations, continued support of terrorism, human rights abuses and other hostile activities that threaten global peace and security, ' Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, said in a written statement.

And as Dan Joyner, professor of global law at the University of Alabama School of Law, explains, "the assertion that Iran's ballistic missile tests...violate UN Security Council resolutions is incorrect because, as of Implementation Day, all UNSCR's adopted prior to that date regarding Iran are terminated except for Resolution 2231".

USA officials confirmed Iran test-fired a ballistic missile Sunday.

Haley also added that America wanted to shoot down its supplies of missile technology to Tehran, and said that no other country should be supplying Iran with any of the technology which allows such risky missile tests.

News of the latest test comes as French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault arrived in the Iranian capital for a two-day visit.

On Jan. 29, citing an unnamed United States official, Fox News reported that a launch had taken place outside Semnan, about 140 miles east of Tehran.

The Islamic republic on Wednesday confirmed the recent ballistic missile test and the officials unanimously called the test "inalienable right" of the country to boost deterrent power. While it's true that Iran supports the Houthi rebels in Yemen, it has never been clear exactly how much support they give and it is doubtful Iran has the kind of leverage over the militants that make them qualify as strategic proxies. Zarif refused to confirm that the country conducted a missile test.

President Trump's national security adviser delivered strong words for Iran from the White House podium Wednesday, condemning the regime's test of a ballistic missile. The warning came a day after U.S. and Israeli officials accused Iran of having conducted a missile test in violation of a Security Council resolution.

Ms Haley said that was something the world "should be alarmed about". Iran has warned the USA not to use the incident to create new tensions. That said, Mattis also is a strong proponent of thinking through actions - if you do this, what might be the response, and what do you do then?

According to Behnam Ben Taleblu, an expert on Iran's missile program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Iran's latest missile test "definitely violates the spirit, if not the letter" of the United Nations resolution on Iran's nuclear program.

Bahram Qasemi highlighted that testing missiles is part of Iran's "inalienable right" to ensure its security and national interests, stressing that making comments on Iran's missile tests falls outside the purview of any foreign country or worldwide organization.
