Iran's Other Scary Weapons Program
(New York Times) Editorial - Iran is advancing the range and mobility of its ballistic missiles and vowing to accelerate production. Most worrisome is a collaboration with North Korea, which has nuclear weapons and provided Iran with many of its first missiles, and still supplies key components. The administration has been clear that after the Iran deal it would enforce those sanctions pertaining to Iran's missile, terrorism and human rights activities. The administration told Congress that missile-related sanctions were coming, then held back. New sanctions on Iran's ballistic missiles must still be pursued. It is an important and necessary way of keeping pressure on Iran to cease its unacceptable activities.
