At a press conference, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley presented remnants recovered from a short-range ballistic missile launched by Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen into Saudi Arabia. According to Haley, the missile shared unique features with Iran’s Qiam missile, including the absence of stabilizer fins. In addition, missile debris was stamped with a logo of Iran’s Shahid Bagheri Industries. Citing the U.N. Secretary General's fourth report evaluating Iran's compliance with Security Council resolution 2231, Haley underscored the dangers surrounding Iran's weapons transfers and ballistic missile activity and reaffirmed the need to address Iran's "destabilizing behavior."
