Iran has
censured recent claims by a top adviser to US President Donald Trump
about the Islamic Republic’s missile program as “baseless,”
"repetitive," and “provocative.”
In a
statement released on Wednesday, White House national security
adviser, Michael Flynn, claimed that Iran’s recent missile tests
breached UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which was adopted in
July 2015 to endorse a nuclear agreement between Tehran and the P5+1
group of countries.
Flynn added
that Washington was “officially putting Iran on notice.”
Resolution
2231 urges Iran “not to undertake any activity related to
ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear
weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.”
On Thursday,
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi rejected Flynn’s
claims as “baseless, repetitive and provocative,” and said
“none of the missiles have been designed to carry nuclear
warheads.”
