Nuke deal permits Iran to build ballistic missiles!

"A call is different from a ban so legally you cannot violate a call, you can comply with a call or you can ignore the call, but you cannot violate a call," Churkin said. "The legal distinction is there."
Resolution 2231 "calls upon" Iran to refrain from certain ballistic missile activity. Western nations see that as a clear ban, though council diplomats say China and other council members agree with Russia's and Iran's view that such work is not banned.

@mohsen you see brother, Chrkin has the same interpretation about the meaning of "call upon" that I do.

Missile test not illegal, Iran’s foreign minister insists | Toronto Star

CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA—Iran’s foreign minister said Tuesday that he had deliberately negotiated the wording of the latest United Nations resolution restraining his country’s nuclear program to ensure that the test-firing of nuclear-capable Iranian missiles would be legal.

Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a speech at the Australian National University that Security Council Resolution 2231, which was adopted after the Iranian nuclear deal was signed last year, did not bar Iran from testing the type of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles that it launched last week.

“It doesn’t call upon Iran not to test ballistic missiles, or ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads . . . it calls upon Iran not to test ballistic missiles that were ‘designed’ to be capable,” Zarif said.

“That word took me about seven months to negotiate, so everybody knew what it meant,” he said, referring to “designed.”

I wish I had attended his classes in Tehran University!

I don't know about other Western governments who were part of this deal but my weak, feckless President and his overly pliable State Secretary knew damn well that it was a loophole when they caved-in and agreed to change the wording from a clear ban to the ambiguous "calls upon" language, in order to get any agreement signed with Iran, at any cost!

I don't think the intent was ripping Iran off its conventional military tech to begin with. It would have never been accepted by Iran and no agreement would be reached. I think everyone is better off now with this deal than without it.

You are arguing with the wrong person, sir. I absolutely do NOT think a nuclear deal should have ever been signed between our two countries.

Even the Policeman of the world has its limitations, there is a limit on your ability to bully other countries. You guys deserve Trump, and Trump deserves you. I wish he becomes U.S president.

As I have never wanted a deal with Iran.......no.

Well, if he does, we won't have any nuclear deal with Iran to worry about anymore!

No stating and wanting "clear ban" on Iran missile program while describing the USA testing nuclear armed ICBMs as a good thing ...
