“The US, which violated UNSCR 2231 in withdrawing from JCPOA, or its allies (in violation of its provision on normalizing economic relations with Iran) are in no position to push a conceited interpretation of its missile provision while pouring weapons into hands that kill Yemenis,” wrote Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a tweet on Friday.
He went on to add, “Contrary to @SecPompeo's claim, a. UNSC 2231: "Iran is CALLED UPON" not prohibited; b. "not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles DESIGNED to be capable of delivering NUCLEAR weapons.”
“Our missiles are not “designed" for nukes, which we’re not developing,” Zarif stressed.
