U.S. media reports say Iran has tested a new medium-range ballistic missile in defiance of two United Nations Security Council resolutions.
U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told media outlets the test was held November 21, and they say the missile traveled within Iranian territory.
Fox News cited intelligence sources as saying the test was held near Chabahar, a port city near Iran's border with Pakistan.
In October, Iran tested a long-range ballistic missile, drawing condemnation from the U.N. Security Council. The Council is still debating how to respond to that test.
Following that earlier missile test, the White House said there were "strong indications" that Tehran "did violate U.N. Security Council resolutions that pertain to Iran's ballistic missile activities." However, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said those violations are "entirely separate" from the historic nuclear deal reached between Iran and world powers.
