President Trump took to Twitter Saturday to weigh in on the news that Iran defied his warnings with a new ballistic-missile test.
“Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel,” Trump tweeted at 5:59 p.m. “They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have!”
Iranian state television carried footage of the launch of the Khoramshahr missile, along with in-flight video from a camera mounted on the nose cone early Saturday.
The missile’s 1,200-mile range means it could reach targets anywhere in the Middle East – and as far from Iran as India and Eastern Europe.
In his speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump condemned Iran for continuing to expand its missile program and criticized the Obama administration’s 2015 pact with Iran, in which Tehran agreed to restrict its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.
