DOUBTS OVER IRAN NUKE DEAL AFTER LATEST MISSILE TEST

-

WASHINGTON: Donald Trump gave a stark warning on Saturday that cast growing uncertaint­y over whether a nuclear deal clinched with Iran would survive after the country tested a missile.

State television carried footage of the launch of the Khoramshah­r missile, first displayed at a military parade in Tehran on Friday.

It also carried in-flight video from the nose cone of the missile, which has a range of 2,000 km and can carry multiple warheads.

“Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have!” Trump tweeted.

The test comes at the end of a heated week of diplomacy at the UN General Assembly in New York, where Trump accused Iran of destabilis­ing the Middle East, calling it a “rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed and chaos.”
