White House: Wouldn’t Be A Surprise if Iran Launched More Missiles in Coming Days (The Washington Free Beacon)

White House spokesman said that the Obama administration would not be surprised if Iran launches more missiles.

 “We know that Iran is in a season of carrying out of military activities,” Earnest said. “So it certainly would not be a surprise if there are additional launches over the next several days that are similar to the launches that have happened a couple times this week.”

Earnest was asked whether the White House would bring the missile launch up at the UN Security Council, and what would be an appropriate response. Earnest said that the White House was going to look into the missile launches. He called the Iran’s desire to develop a ballistic missile program outside of the international standards a long-standing concern.
