Richmond Addresses Reports of Iranian Ballistic Missile Tests | 2015-12-10 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, Congressman Cedric Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement concerning reports of Iran conducting illegal missile tests: The reports that Iran has continued to ignore international agreements and U.N. resolutions by testing medium-range ballistic missiles potentially capable of carrying nuclear warheads are deeply disconcerting and require our immediate attention, said Rep. Richmond. These actions not only undermine the credibility of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) they threaten the security of the international community. I call upon members of the P5 +1 to thoroughly verify that Iran is strictly following the letter and the spirit of the JCPOA. The Administration must work with our international allies to investigate these serious allegations of this dangerous and provocative behavior by the Iranian regime. If these reports are true, the Administration must swiftly and decisively take the appropriate action, including sanctions against Irans ballistic missile program. Hardliners in Iran are actively seeking to discredit the JCPOA, we must act to prevent them from achieving that goal. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
