“Iran has only been called upon not to carry out activities related to ballistic missiles, designed so that they are able to deliver nuclear weapons,” he said during the Security Council meeting.
According to Nebenzi, in general, rocket launches are not prohibited in Iran.
“And there is no evidence proving their possible nuclear component,” he added.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on the UN Security Council to reintroduce sanctions against Iran in connection with the ballistic missile program.
