On Wednesday, the Iranian Defense Minister confirmed that Iran carried out a new missile test. He also said that the missile test did not violate the nuclear agreement between Tehran and P5+1 group of world powers or the UN Security Council resolution.

The nuclear agreement was signed in 2015 by Iran and the P5+1 group of countries comprising the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom plus Germany. The deal stipulates Iran must maintain a peaceful nature of its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
