(TEHRAN, Iran) — Iran's foreign minister on Tuesday refused to confirm whether his country recently conducted a missile test, saying the Iranian missile program is not part of the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
The U.N. Security Council met privately later at the Trump administration's request, and U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said afterward that the world should be "alarmed" at the Iranian test and the council should take action.
Haley called the medium-range ballistic missile test "absolutely unacceptable" and said Iran is "being naive" by thinking the U.S. and others accept its contention that it has no intention of attacking any country.
"I will tell the people across the world that is something we should be alarmed about," she said. "The United States is not naive. We are not going to stand by. You will see us call them out as we said we would, and you're also gonna see us act accordingly."
During a joint news conference with visiting French counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was asked if Iran had conducted a recent missile test.
"The missile issue is not part of the nuclear deal. As all signatories to the nuclear deal have announced, the missile issue is not a part of" the deal, he said.
