The United States is currently following some reports that Iran has conducted ballistic missile tests. If the missile tests are confirmed to be true, a US official revealed that it will seek an appropriate reaction at the UN Security Council.

According to CNBC, the United States recently stated that if reports are confirmed to be true of the fresh Iranian ballistic missile tests, then it will to raise the issue at the UN Security Council. It will also urge an "appropriate response" from the agency.

"We're aware of and following closely the reports that Iran has just conducted several ballistic missile tests," stated State Department spokesman Mark Toner. He also added, "If confirmed, we intend to raise the matter in the U.N. Security Council."

But despite of the U.S. warnings of the Iranian missile tests, Deutsche Welle reported that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has tested two more missiles after the U.S. threatened sanctions over earlier missile launches. An Iranian agency even revealed that they were made to be able to reach up to Israel. The missiles even destroyed targets 1,400 kilometers away, as claimed by General Hossein Salami.

Iran maintains its short-and medium-range ballistic missiles, more than any country in the Middle East. However, the State Department spokesperson admitted that such tests would not violate the July 14 Iran nuclear agreement, as mentioned in Reuters. But he expressed some concerns regarding the missile tests.

"We will also encourage a serious review of the incident and press for an appropriate response," Toner claimed. He went on to say, "We also continue to aggressively apply our unilateral tools to counter threats from Iran's missile program."

Meanwhile, although the official made it clear that the reported Iranian missile tests would not be considered a violation of the internal nuclear deal with Iran; the launches were still considered as strong signs that the test would be inconsistent with a UN Security Council resolution. Moreover, the State Department promises to continue working as close as possible to partners around the world to slow and mortify Iran's missile program.
