Following the missile test by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, the U.S. government announced that it would review the matter in Washington and stated that if this test violates the UN Security Council resolution, the U.S. would respond appropriately. The Iranian Foreign Ministry claims that the IRGC's missile drill does not violate the JCPOA or UN Security Council Resolution 2231. Meanwhile, several members of the U.S. Congress have called for new sanctions against Iran. Radio Farda spoke with political analysts Morad Veisi and Rasoul Nafisi, as well as international law professor Saeed Mahmoudi, to examine the political and legal dimensions of Iran's missile drill. Rasoul Nafisi, a political analyst in the U.S., believes that this drill will escalate tensions in Iran-U.S. relations. Saeed Mahmoudi, an international law professor in Sweden, stated that the remarks of U.S. officials on this matter are 'political and lack legal basis, as the UN Security Council resolution merely recommends that Iran refrain from missile testing,' a recommendation that, according to Mahmoudi, is 'not binding' for Iran.
Does the IRGC's Missile Drill Violate the UN Security Council Resolution?
The U.S. is reviewing the IRGC's missile test for potential violations of UN Security Council resolutions, while Iran asserts it has not violated any agreements. This situation has prompted calls for new sanctions from U.S. Congress members, highlighting ongoing tensions between the two nations.
