Top adviser to US President warns Iran for test-firing ballistic missile

White House national security adviser Michael Flynn condemned the test and said it was in violation of a United Nations Security Council resolution. A Pentagon spokesman Christopher Sherwood said that the United States military has not changed it's posture in response to Iran test-firing a ballistic missile. The spokesman did not provide any other details.<br/>'<br/>Iran confirmed yesterday it had tested a new missile but said it did not breach a nuclear accord reached with world powers or a UN Security Council resolution that endorsed the pact. <br/><br/>
