(AP) -- Defense Minister Gen. Amir Hatami says Iran will file a complaint to the U.N. and demand that "parts of the missile be delivered to Iran" for examination.

He told the semi-official Tasnim news agency on Monday that U.S. claims cannot be "answered remotely."

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Thursday showed off the missile parts to cameras at a military base near Washington. She said the projectile was supplied by Iran and launched by Yemen's Houthis at the airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

Iran dismissed it as a "fake and fabricated" claim. Tehran denies arming Yemen's Houthis in the war with Saudi Arabia.
