The United States and its allies turn their collective back on Iran for a minute to focus on ISIS in Syria and Iraq and would you guess what happens?

They go ahead and decide to get a little naughty and violate a United Nations Security Council resolution — they test a ballistic missile (a medium-range Emad rocket) capable of delivering a nuclear warhead, according to a team of sanctions monitors and their confidential new report.

This from Reuters:

The conclusion of the council’s Panel of Experts on Iran will likely lead to calls for expanding sanctions against Tehran in Washington and some other Western capitals. The White House said on Tuesday that it would not rule out additional steps against Tehran over the missile test.

“On the basis of its analysis and findings the Panel concludes that Emad launch is a violation by Iran of paragraph 9 of Security Council resolution 1929,” the panel said in its report.

Reuters on Tuesday reviewed the 10-page report, which was dated Dec. 11 and went to members of the United Nations Security Council’s Iran sanctions committee in recent days. The report is expected to come up later on Tuesday when the 15-nation council discusses the Iran sanctions regime.
