Haley: We Must "Expose and Hold Accountable the Iranian Regime's Hostile Actions"

(U.S. Mission to the UN) U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley told the UN Security Council on Tuesday: "The Secretary-General's fourth report on the Iranian regime's lack of full compliance with Resolution 2231...makes the case that Iran is illegally transferring weapons. I know many Member States put a lot of effort into the nuclear agreement with Iran. But that should not allow us to look the other way at the very serious non-nuclear items like sales of arms, ballistic missile testing, and support for terrorism." "This report...points to evidence of the Iranian origin of missiles fired from Yemen into Saudi Arabia this year. It notes that arms seized by the United States from a ship in the Gulf of Oman were identical to those previously seized by France, which the UN had concluded were of Iranian origin." "Iran's destabilizing behavior is only growing. It will continue to grow unless we raise the cost of defying the international community. International peace and security depend on us working together to expose and hold accountable the Iranian regime's hostile actions....We must not allow ourselves to be held hostage to the nuclear agreement or treat Iran any different than we would any other country violating a resolution."
