Khamenei says useless for U.S. to threaten Iran over missile test

Written by Teunis Felter

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday Iran will not yield to U.S. threats over a ballistic missile test. Iran said on Wednesday it had tested a new ballistic missile but said it did not breach a nuclear deal reached with six major powers in 2015 or a U.N. Security Council resolution that endorsed the accord. A U.S. official said Iran had test-launched a medium-range ballistic missile on Sunday and it exploded after traveling 630 miles (1,010 km). But Iran denied it.
