Iran Missile Tests May Breach UN Resolution, France and UK Warn
(Guardian-UK) Patrick Wintour - France and the UK have echoed U.S. warnings that Iran may be in breach of UN obligations by testing medium-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying multiple warheads. UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said Saturday he was "deeply concerned by Iran's test firing of a medium-range ballistic missile. Provocative, threatening and inconsistent with UNSCR 2231." On Monday the French president's office said the tests were "provocative and destabilizing." It urged Iran to stop all testing of ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
