Pompeo urges UNSC to keep arms embargo on Iran, tighten restrictions on missile program

Washington, Dec 13 (Xinhua) US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday urged the UN Security Council (UNSC) to maintain an arms embargo on Iran scheduled to be lifted in 2020 under the Iran nuke deal, and to take tougher restrictions on Tehran's ballistic missile program.
Speaking at a UNSC meeting on Iran, Pompeo accused the country of having the largest ballistic missile force in Middle East that has threatened many of US allies.
"When we collectively 'call upon' Iran to cease its ballistic missile activity, we must agree to stop it now," Pompeo said, adding Iran's recent test-firing of a medium-range ballistic missile, together with other moves, has proved that "Iran is in open defiance of UN Security Council Resolution 2231."
