Sputnik- US Vice President Mike Pence said that Iran's ballistic missile test was a direct violation of the UN Security Council resolutions and "defiant behavior to the world community".


WASHINGTON (Sputnik)�� US President Donald Trump will decide whether the United States stands by�the Iran nuclear deal in�the upcoming days, US Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday.


"I think the president will make that decision in�the days ahead. He will listen to�all of�his advisers, but�make no mistake about�it. The resolve of�this president is such that Iran would do well to�think twice about�their continued hostile and belligerent actions," Pence said in�an interview with�the ABC broadcaster.


The vice president stressed that Iran's ballistic missile test was a direct violation of�the UN Security Council resolutions and "defiant behavior to�the world community".
"The Iranians got a deal from�the international community that again, the president and I and our administration think was a terrible deal. It essentially allows Iran to�develop a nuclear weapon," Pence told the broadcaster.


The nuclear agreement was signed in�July 2015 by�Iran and the P5+1 group of�countries comprising the United States, Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom plus Germany. The agreement stipulates that Iran must maintain a peaceful nature of�its nuclear program in�exchange for�sanctions relief.


On Friday, Trump's administration announced sanctions against�25 individuals and entities based in�Iran, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates and China for�the alleged support of�Iran�s ballistic missile program following�Tehran�s latest medium-range ballistic missile test, which took place on�Monday.
