Khamenei ally says useless for US to threaten Iran over missile test

ANKARA—A top adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday Iran will not yield to "useless" US threats from "an inexperienced person" over its ballistic missile programme.

 

US President Donald Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, said on Wednesday the United States was putting Iran on notice over its "destabilising activity" after it test-fired a ballistic missile.

 

Turmp echoed that language on Thursday, saying in a tweet "Iran has been formally put on notice" after his administration said it was reviewing how to respond to the launch that Iran said was solely for defensive purposes.
