Iran Tests New Ballistic Missile

As part of a show of military strength and in conjunction with a military parade, Iran unveiled and tested a missile capable of carrying multiple warheads, with a range of 1,250 miles. In regards to this muscle-flexing, and possibly in response to Trump's U.N. address, Iranian President Rouhani said "We seek no-one's permission to defend our land." The article goes on to describe Trump's negative reaction as well as give details about procedures of action the U.S. may take, including reimposing sanctions. French President Macron is also quoted from an interview with CNN saying that the Iran deal needs to be adhered to and there needs to be monitoring of Iran's missile development. The article then moves to an expert analysis on what capabilities Iran may or may not have, what their intentions may be and assess possibilities moving forward.
