Cruise missiles used in several attacks on oil facilities and an international airport in Saudi Arabia last year were of “Iranian origin,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council in a report seen by Reuters on Thursday.

Guterres also said several items in U.S. seizures of weapons and related materiel in November 2019 and February 2020 were “of Iranian origin.”

Some have design characteristics similar to those also produced by a commercial entity in Iran, or bear Farsi markings, Guterres said, and some were delivered to the country between February 2016 and April 2018.

He said that “these items may have been transferred in a manner inconsistent” with a 2015 Security Council resolution that enshrines Tehran’s deal with world powers to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.

Let's see the report.
 
Anyone who thinks China, Iran, Russia or NoKo will abide by ANY treaty is an imbecile. You can't deal with those people. But we gotta make believe we're trying
 
Yes, Iran is bad and awful and terrible – the Islamic Republic is an agent of terror and a destabilizing threat to the Region; there’s ample evidence of this, but that’s not the issue.

The issue is what should be done as a countermeasure.

The Iran nuclear accords were a viable part of the solution, unwisely abandoned by the United States.
