Menendez slams 'silence' on Iran missile test

[Acebb]

And here I thought this Iranian deal was going to make the world a safer place. Forum idiot guesser said so, so why is Iran doing things such as this?

"What has happened as a result of Iran violating the U.N. Security Council resolutions as it relates to missile testing? Absolutely nothing," he said. "Something is wrong because the silence is so deafening."

The New Jersey senator's comments come after reports that Iran tested a ballistic missile last month. It would mark the second since diplomats reached a deal on the country's nuclear program.

Menendez added that without concrete steps from the administration or the United Nations, "Iran can support terror, Iran can develop its nuclear program, Iran can foment secretariat conflict across the Middle East … and yet, it will be rewarded with a multibillion dollar sanctions relief this coming year."


=====

Memo to Mr. Menendez:

Good luck with that.

Iran tested a new medium-range ballistic missile last month in a breach of two U.N. Security Council resolutions, two U.S. officials said on Monday.
The officials, both speaking on condition of anonymity, said the test was held on Nov. 21. One of them said the missile traveled within Iranian territory.
A Western diplomatic source said last week on condition of anonymity that the test was held near Chabahar, a port city near Iran's border with Pakistan. He said it was a liquid-fueled missile with a 1,900 km (1,180 mile) range and was capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
All ballistic missile tests by Iran are banned under a 2010 Security Council resolution that remains valid until a nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers is implemented.
Under that deal, reached on July 14, most sanctions on Iran will be lifted in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program. According to a July 20 resolution endorsing that deal, Iran is still "called upon" to refrain from work on ballistic missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons for up to eight years.
In October, the United States, Britain, France and Germany called for the Security Council's Iran sanctions committee to take action over a missile test by Tehran that month that they said violated U.N. sanctions. So far, no action has been taken by the committee.
Several Security Council diplomats said on Monday they had received no official notification of a new alleged violation of the U.N. missile sanctions against Iran since the October notification. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity.


These are the missiles that will carry Iran's nukes.

• We Are Being Deceived on Iran - Alex Fishman
  Following the signing of the nuclear deal in July, the sanctions against Iran will be lifted on Dec. 15. But Iran is not meeting its obligations to dismantle its nuclear capability as per its agreement with six world powers. According to the agreement, Iran has until Dec. 15 to dismantle two-thirds of its active centrifuges, so that it will not have more than 6,000 old-generation centrifuges in its possession. All the advanced centrifuges will be taken apart, the stockpiles of enriched uranium up to 3.6% will be reduced to 300kg and the medium-grade enriched uranium will be destroyed. The Iranians are also obligated to make engineering changes to their Arak reactor. None of these clauses have been fulfilled.
  Yediot Ahronot has received information from Western intelligence officials showing that at the pace the Iranians are working, they will only meet their obligations sometime during the second half of 2016 - and perhaps even later. (Ynet News)
