The United Nations Security Council is to hold urgent talks Tuesday in response to a ballistic missile test carried out by Iran.

The United States requested the meeting following Sunday's test launch of a medium-range missile. The exact type of missile and its capabilities were not clear.

A 2024 Security Council resolution prohibits Iran from any activities related to ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads.

The eight-year ban followed the adoption of an agreement Iran reached with six world powers to limit its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief.

The deal brokered with the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany came in response to allegations Iran was working to develop nuclear weapons, which Iran has repeatedly rejected.

U.S. President Donald Trump has been a sharp critic of the Iranian nuclear deal, saying the world powers gave up too much in exchange for too little. In a phone call this week with Saudi King Salman, Trump promised to "rigorously" enforce the agreement.

Senator Bob Corker, another opponent of the deal, said Monday Iran will no longer "be given a pass for its repeated ballistic missile violations."

"I look forward to working with my colleagues and the administration to hold Iran accountable for this and other violations while ensuring radical enforcement of existing restrictions on its nuclear program," he said in a statement.

聯合國安理會將于星期二舉行緊急會談，對伊朗進行的彈道導彈試驗作出反應。

伊朗星期日試射一枚中程導彈后，美國要求舉行會議。目前這枚導彈的確切類型及其射程尚不清楚。

安理會2024年通過一項決議，禁止伊朗從事與用于攜帶核彈頭的彈道導彈有關的任何活動。

這一為期八年的禁令是在伊朗與六個世界大國達成協議后實施的，該協議以限制伊朗核項目來換取減免對其的制裁。

該協議是伊朗與美、英、法、俄、中、德這六大國簽訂的，以回應對伊朗正在努力發展核武器的指控，不過伊朗一再否認這一指控。

美國總統川普對伊朗核協議一直持嚴厲批評的態度，他說世界大國放棄了太多，換取的卻太少。川普本周與沙特國王薩爾曼通電話時，承諾要“嚴格”執行協議條款。

另一位反對伊朗核協議的美國參議員鮑勃·科克爾周一表示，伊朗一再違規的彈道導彈試驗不會再得到放行了。

科克爾在一份聲明中說，“我期待著與我的同僚和政府合作，要伊朗對這次和其他違規行為負責，同時確保徹底執行對其核計劃的現有規定。”
