Iran has carried out a new medium range ballistic missile test in breach of two United Nations Security Council resolutions, a senior U.S. official told Fox News on Monday.
Western intelligence says the test was held Nov. 21 near Chabahar, a port city in southeast Iran’s Balochistan province near the border with Pakistan. The launch took place from a known missile test site along the Gulf of Oman.
The missile, known as a Ghadr-110, has a range of 1,800 – 2000 km, or 1200 miles, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The missile fired in November is an improved version of the Shahab 3, and is similar to the precision guided missile tested by Iran on Oct. 10, which elicited strong condemnation from members of the U.N. Security Council.
“The United States is deeply concerned about Iran’s recent ballistic missile launch,” Samantha Power, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., said in a statement after the October launch. “After reviewing the available information, we can confirm that Iran launched on October 10 a medium-range ballistic missile inherently capable of delivering a nuclear weapon.”

This is clearly not true! President Barak Hussein Obama has assuerd the nation and the rest of the world that the Iranians are trustworthy and that they wouldn’t do this! The media is just out to frame them! They’re not up to any bad, the great president has so stated.
I’m not usually a “see I told you so” type of guy but cmon we all knew this would happen
What’s Obama gonna do now ? Nothing it’s too late
Ho hum. So surprised. Not. The agreement has no teeth. Oh, and Obama lied. What’s new?
Why am I not surprised? Did anybody except the fool in the WH believe they could be trusted?
