The UN Security Council will hold urgent talks today on Iran's test-firing of a medium-range missile. The US mission said in a statement that it has requested the emergency consultations in the light of Iran's launch of a medium-range ballistic missile. Israel has accused Iran of carrying out a missile test in flagrant violation of a UN security council resolution. Iran has said its missiles would never carry a nuclear warhead as it has no plans to develop atomic weapons.<br/>'<br/>Iran has carried out several such tests since a 2015 nuclear deal which relaxed sanctions against the country, despite Western criticism. Britain, France and the United States have sought council action over Iranian missiles launches last year, but Russia and China opposed discussion of possible sanctions that they argued would jeopardize the hard-fought nuclear deal. <br/>
