Iran's military tested two ballistic missiles Wednesday, and an Iranian officer says the missiles are designed to reach Israel, according to an Iranian news agency. Iran has conducted a number of other ballistic missile tests this week.
The tests, which come after Iran won sanctions relief in January by curbing its nuclear program, seem to be "aimed at demonstrating that Iran will push forward with its ballistic program," The Associated Press reports.
NPR's Peter Kenyon tells our Newscast unit that "the tests may violate a U.N. Security Council resolution barring Iran from test-firing missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons."
