Iran Test Fires 2 More Ballistic Missiles Despite Threat Of New Sanctions From US

Iran test fired two new ballistic missiles early Wednesday despite a threat of a diplomatic response from the U.S. over the beginning of a military exercise the previous day, when it claimed to have test-fired several missiles from underground silos, Reuters reported, citing local news agencies.

The country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC)’s missile tests on Tuesday challenged a resolution by the United Nations and triggered a threat from the U.S. saying that it would push for more unilateral sanctions.
