White House national security adviser Michael Flynn condemned the test and said it was in violation of a United Nations Security Council resolution.
While signalling a more muscular U.S. foreign policy that Trump has said he would pursue, the meaning of Flynn’s comment, that “we are officially putting Iran on notice,” was unclear.
Iran confirmed on Wednesday it had tested a new missile but said it did not breach a nuclear accord reached with world powers or a U.N. Security Council resolution that endorsed the pact.
