According to the Ministry of Defense's announcement, the experiment this morning in the center of the country was pre-determined and performed as planned, according to the Ministry of Defense announcement. According to publications, foreigners are tens of thousands of miles capable of carrying unconventional warheads, including nuclear weapons. The experiment is carried out every year by the defense establishment as part of the missile improvement and quality test.

The experiment is taking place in the backdrop of tensions in the Middle East, along with recent Iranian threats expressed by US reports of increasing Iran's short-range missile arsenal in Iraq, as well as the bombardment of an Iranian weapons depot near the Syria-Al-Iraqi border. In addition, two days ago, the United States reportedly seized a shipment of Iranian missile parts en route to the Houthi insurgents in Yemen.

France, Germany and the United Kingdom said yesterday that Iran had developed ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons, contrary to the Security Council's call for Tehran not to take any action on such missiles. Ambassadors on behalf of the three countries called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterresh in a letter sent by them to update the Council that Iran's activities on ballistic missiles are "inconsistent" with the Council's decision supporting the nuclear agreement with Iran of 2015. In their letter, the ambassadors cited four examples. Apart from the United States, which withdrew from the agreement, the four other permanent members of the council - France, Britain, China and Russia - still support it, as does Germany.

Representatives of the powers met with an Iranian delegation in Vienna

Earlier today, representatives of the signed powers reached a meeting in Vienna with a delegation of Iranian officials. Officials said during the meeting that European representatives told Iran that if they did not stop violating the nuclear agreement, they would renew the UN's global sanctions against it. On the other hand, Tehran continues to rage over the remaining countries in the agreement, which they say are not doing enough to protect its economy from US sanctions.

European E3 powers - France, UK and Germany - are considering implementing a mechanism in the agreement that could lead to a decision to repeal UN global sanctions. Three diplomats said this decision is unlikely to be made by January, so Iran is expected to withdraw further from its commitments It has reduced its nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief, an Iranian official said: "The European parties to the agreement need to know that the clock is ticking for them. They are trying to keep Iran in agreement, but then no steps are being taken against America's bullying and pressure. "

China's spokeswoman said the European parties did not announce the implementation of the UN sanctions procedure, but urged Iran to fully return to its commitments. "All countries should refrain from taking further action to complicate the situation," said Fu Kong, director general of the department Weapons control in the Chinese Foreign Ministry, after the talks. "In our view, there is an element of automation and we are not sure that countries can continue this process under control. This could provoke tension."
