Iran slams provocative US warning over missile test

Iran has rejected a warning from US President Donald Trump's administration over its latest missile test as unfounded. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi was quoted as saying yesterday by state news agency IRNA that the claims were baseless, repetitive and provocative. Also yesterday, a top adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran would not yield to useless US threats from an inexperienced person over its ballistic missile programme.<br/><br/>President Donald Trump himself tweeted earlier yesterday that the Islamic republic was now formally on notice after Sunday's missile test. Later yesterday, responding to a question about whether he would consider military options to respond to Iran, Trump told reporters nothing is off the table. The White House said Iran's action would not go unresponded to.
