US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday urged the United Nations to tighten restrictions on Iran’s missiles, saying the Islamic republic had hundreds of projectiles that could strike US allies.
Pompeo headed to New York for a Security Council meeting on Iran, which recently confirmed a medium-range ballistic test, arguing it is legal and necessary for its defence.
“We risk the security of our people if Iran continues stocking up on ballistic missiles,” Pompeo told the Security Council.
