Biden: Iran Under Close Watch Amid Reports of Missile Tests
(Washington Post) William Booth - Vice President Biden warned Wednesday that the U.S. would not hesitate to act against any "conventional" military activity by Iran outside of last year's nuclear deal, underscoring the Obama administration's concern after apparent back-to-back missile tests by Tehran. Biden said during a visit to Israel that the U.S. "will act" if Iran violates the nuclear pact. He also said that all Iranian programs outside the scope of the accord will be closely monitored. He reiterated that "a nuclear-armed Iran is an absolutely unacceptable threat to Israel, the region and the United States." In Washington, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the U.S. would "redouble" efforts to limit further expansion of Iran's missile program.
