Iran fires ballistic missiles, U.S. hints at diplomatic response
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) test-fired several ballistic missiles on Tuesday, Reuters reported citing the state television.
The source reminds that two months ago, Washington imposed sanctions against businesses and individuals linked to Iran's missile program over a test of the medium-range Emad missile carried out in October 2015.
Commenting on the report, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Washington would review the incident and, if it is confirmed, raise it in the U.N. Security Council and seek an "appropriate response".
Earlier an Iranian state television report showed a missile being fired from a fortified underground silo at nighttime. The presenter said it was a medium-range Qiam-1 missile, and the test took place in the early hours of Tuesday.
