Iran rapped over rockets

-

America has issued warnings over Iran test-firing ballistic missiles capable of carrying multiple warheads.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last night called on leaders to “cease these activities” and issued a statement saying he “condemns these acts”. America has accused Iran of breaking UN peace codes issued to prevent the proliferat­ion of weapons.

The latest missile launch comes after the Pentagon displayed pieces of what they described as Iranian weapons deployed to militants in Yemen and Afghanista­n. If Iran were found to be shipping the arms, it would be in violation of UN resolution­s. US President Donald Trump tore up the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and six global powers to the dismay of the UK and others earlier this year.
