US State Department: Iran's Satellite Launch Violates UN Resolution

The United States considers Iran's launch of a satellite to space with a long-range rocket to be a provocative act that violates a UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR), US Department of State spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a briefing on Thursday.


"We would consider that a violation of the UNSCR 2231," Nauert told reporters.

"We consider that to be continued ballistic missile development. We also remain very concerned about Iran's support for terrorism. We consider this to be a provocative action."
