Trump: "Not much agreement we have" in response to Iran firing ballistic missile

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (KUNA) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that the U.S. does not have much of a nuclear deal with Iran after it fired a ballistic missile.
Trump tweeted "Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel." "They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have," he added.
Iran unveiled a new ballistic missile with range of 2,000 km (1,200 miles), capable of carrying several warheads, according to the state television.
Trump said during his speech at the UN General Assembly that the Iranian nuclear agreement was an "embarrassment to the U.S." For his part, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson confirmed that Trump has made a decision on whether or not to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran but will reveal it "all in due time." Under U.S. law, the President must certify to Congress every 90 days that Iran is complying with the terms of the agreement, where the next deadline is October 15. (end) si.tg
