CNN: U.S. to refer Iran missile test to U.N. over possible violation
Washington (CNN)The State Department said Tuesday it would refer Iran's firing of a new surface-to-surface ballistic missile to the United Nations Security Council for review to determine whether the test violated a U.N. resolution.
"It's deeply concerning that this latest violation does appear to be a violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1929, and we'll obviously raise this at the [Security Council] as we have done with previous launches," State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.
"We've seen for the past years that Iran has consistently ignored U.N. Security Council resolutions," he added.
