Haley Presents Evidence that Iran Violated UN Resolutions
(Bloomberg) Nick Wadhams and Kambiz Foroohar - U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley stood amid missile fragments in Washington Thursday to show proof that Iran is supplying Houthi rebels in Yemen with weapons in "absolute and undeniable violations" of UN resolutions. Charts and photographs showed that the weapon fired at the main airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Nov. 4 was an Iranian-made Qiam missile. She said Iran is providing weapons in violation of UN embargoes on Iran arms exports. "Just imagine if this missile had been launched at Dulles airport or JFK," she said. Haley also showed parts from an attack in July on an oil refinery in Saudi Arabia as further evidence that Iran "is defying the international community, and not just one time. This evidence demonstrates a pattern of behavior....We must speak with one voice exposing the regime for what it is, a threat to peace and security for the entire world."
