Netanyahu ordered Israeli diplomats to demand the P5+1 group of countries, who reached a nuclear agreement with Iran last July, take immediate action against Tehran’s “gross transgressions.”
On Tuesday, Iran fired Qiam ballistic missiles from silo-based launchers in different locations across the country and on Wednesday, it successfully test-fired two more ballistic missiles of the Qadr family.
“The missiles (tests) are a violation of the UN Security Council, because they are longer than the distance that is allowed,” Kerry said in Paris. “Because of that they represent a potential threat to countries in the region and beyond.”
According to Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Division Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh, Qadr-H missile has a range of 1,700 kilometers while Qadr-F missile can destroy targets some 2,000 kilometers away.
US envoy to the United Nations Samantha Power said Friday that the tests are a threat to Israel, adding Washington has asked the UN Security Council (UNSC) to discuss the issue; Press TV reported.
