[Iran Press TV] Iran says missile tests are an "inalienable and absolute" right of the Islamic Theocratic Republicin order to defend its security and national interests, stressing that no country or international body can have any say in this regard. "I emphasize the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran’s principled stance that conducting any ballistic missile test by the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran is in full compliance with its absolute rights and international obligations," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Tuesday. He reaffirmed the "defensive nature" of Iran’s missile programs and said none of the country’s ballistic missiles had been designed to carry a nuclear warhead and they were, therefore, not banned under the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... Security Council Resolution 2231. Resolution 2231 was adopted on July 20, 2015 to endorse a landmark nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries. Under the resolution, Iran is "called upon" not to undertake any activity related to missiles "designed to be capable of" delivering nuclear weapons. Iran says it is not involved in any such missile work and has no such warheads. |
