[quote]Iran has carried out a new medium range ballistic missile test in breach of two United Nations Security Council resolutions, a senior U.S. official told Fox News on Monday.

Western intelligence says the test was held Nov. 21 near Chabahar, a port city in southeast Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan Province near the border with Pakistan.  The launch took place from a known missile test site along the Gulf of Oman.

The missile, known as a Ghadr-110, has a range of 1,800 – 2000 km, or 1200 miles, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The missile fired in November is an improved version of the Shahab 3, and is similar to the precision guided missile tested by Iran on Oct. 10, which elicited strong condemnation from members of the U.N. Security Council.

“The United States is deeply concerned about Iran's recent ballistic missile launch," Samantha Power, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., said in a statement after the last Iranian ballistic missile test in October.

Whatever, The real enemy is ISIS.  We need to let Iran slide on this one

[Hifly]

Why do you care?

Whatever, The real enemy is ISIS.

Because?

They (the morons) didn't care that the Iranian govt was a major exporter of terrorism before the stupid deal.  Iran isn't much of a threat to Europe and the rest of the West, they only murder Jews and Sunnis.  Thus most people don't care.  In fact most of the time this comes up, some people will be shocked to learn that Iran has ever done anything wrong.  Other than some horrible sh**t to their own people, they know that, but they hand wave that away too....again, not a threat to them and theirs.

Because Iran is not going to attack the United States, they're not that stupid.  ISIS on the other hand....

If nations begin to believe that they can take actions without consequence, well, this is what results. Pretty sad to hear so many people respond by saying "so what?", and that it appears we have to rely on the French to ensure Iran is complying with the ban on missile tests. So how long do you think before our Iranian friends break the terms of the nuclear deal? If it wasn't scary, it would be laughable.

Yes, but if ISIS or another radical group somehow obtains material to make a dirty bomb or a chemical weapon from folks within Iran, Pakistan, or elsewhere? I suppose you shrug and say, "it weren't Iran that attacked us, so we're good". Or if Israel takes the brunt of such activities, you shrug and say, "it weren't pointed at us, so we're good". Perhaps you'll be tapped to be our next Secretary of State.
