U.S. officials are scrambling to identify if the recent Iranian ballistic missile launch last month – the second such test since this summer – violates the terms of the unpopular Iranian nuclear deal that was signed by President Barack Obama over the summer.
The test occurred Nov. 21, according to an official Tuesday, coming on top of an Oct. 10 test Iran confirmed at the time. The official said other undeclared tests occurred earlier than that, but declined to elaborate. The official wasn’t authorized to speak on the matter and demanded anonymity.
Ballistic missiles are especially sensitive with Iran because they could provide the delivery system for a nuclear warhead. As part of nuclear negotiations struck with Obama, Iran in July accepted an eight-year extension of a ban on its ballistic missile program.
The November test was reportedly a mid-range missile with a range of 1,200 miles, and was launched from a known site near the Gulf of Oman.
The test may reflect an effort by Iranians to challenge the White Houses commitment to enforcing the nuclear pact, coming on top of the recent arrests of an American citizen and U.S. resident, and reports that Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian was sentenced to an unspecified prison term following an espionage conviction.
Top Iranian officials have vowed to respond to any new forms of economic pressure from the West.
After the October test, President Barack Obama noted that Iran has often violated missile prohibitions.
Sen. Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, criticized the Obama administration’s lack of response to Iran’s “repeated ballistic missile tests.” Iran, he said Tuesday, “knows neither this administration nor the U.N. Security Council is likely to take any action.”

Why do we keep allowing President Stupid to have his way
Because WE THE PEOPLE are DRUNK on the GREED created by doubling our national debt by 10 TRILLION in just 7 yr.s… The FREE MONEY ORGY will soon end and then WE ARE DONE! NO PROBLEM WE’ LL LET OUR KIDS AN GD KIDS SUFFER US
Obama is a ass
agreed! time for Trump. he owes no one
Part right. Obama is a lying Muslim, anti-America ASS !!
Simple do you or any of your friends what to be labeled a Racist Neither does anyone in Washington The Bias Medi8a would crucify anyone who would dare call for Barry’s Impeachment by pulling The Race Card Just that simple No rocket science
we all were against it, we know you can not trust the Chinese ,but we can not trust the SOB in the Whitehouse who signed the Deal against the Voters anyway ,he is to blame for that
Nobody signed the “DEAL” Iran didn’t sign it… so it’s not a deal… it was just show! Check it out if you don’t believe me… did Iran get the 150 billion dollars yet?
I believe 30 billion is being prepared for Iran regardless if he deal was signed or not. Maybe Valerie Jarrett can answer that.
You’re Right, Iran did not sign the Agreement this SOB in WH and Nam Traitor J. Kerry, made, along with all the Anti-American Muzzies in WH, In the Sham Agreement, they let Iranian Mullaghs draft, a one sided agreement in they’re favor. The Iranians wrote in every thing to guarranty they’ll be sure to go Nuclear. Testing now of the Misslies to longer and longer ranges , to threaten us tomorrow. Thanks to the Stupid, Delusional Bath House Barry Soterro, and all the Loony’s who Voted for him, not once, but twice. Sleep well, eventually,we’ll all be Toast.
this is some more of his lead from behind tactics…. Obama should be impeached…. Hillary for prison 2016 Obama her cell mate
Oh Robert…I wish. But I have a feeling it’s not gonna happen. I can dream tho”
The reason we do is we have a Stupid Senate as well as a Stupid Congress,
I think all Americans should e-mail their Congress Members as well as their
Senators more so those Democrats who are fed up with Obama , please folks
He has put this NATION in GREAT DANGER. We all must remember all He is,
is a ” Community Org. { don.t even believe I will bother typing out his complete TITLE ) .
He should have been impeached about 7 years ago. WTF, Congress??? Do we have to replace you before anything gets done? You got it. In Nov. you will be told to get out!
lou…….You should know the answer to that question by now…We have a Congress and a Senate that have NO BACK BONE and are BALL LESS……Just look at the Trillion dollar spending bill that they just passed !!! Everything that OBOZO wanted they APPROVED !!!……….what we need is a clean sweep of both houses…..throw ALL those self serving bums OUT !!l
EVERYBODY BUT THE MORON IN THE. WH. KNEW THIS WOULD BE THE RESULT….. DIDN’T WE!!!
yes we did dum oba
I don’t know what people actually expected out of this guy He was never vetted by Congress his only real claim to fame was he was a community organizer in Chicago and People are just now starting to realize that if you have never created anything or run any kind of business or ever served in the military what makes you qualified to be President of The USA
Sounds like Hillary also. she doesn’t know poop. She will not back up anyone but herself and Billy. so what does she bring to the table? She saw Billy get impeached. She talks like Obuma and so far has attracted some people that are still looking for CHANGE. The Change is coming and it is called Trump. We can’t stand 16 years of Obuma.
What we actually need to do is deport George Soros, the multi-billionaire (worth at least $100 billion) who bankrolled much of the early Obama campaign and gave B.O. the media coverage he needed to win (Soros and friends, own huge hunks of the media–the corporate media dance to the globalist’s tune). Everything that B.O. has done, has been to serve the plans of the globalists for a world-wide, socialist oligarchy (with the big-wigs controlling the whole mess, of course). Soros is pushing Hillary now. This country will be completely destroyed after another eight years of serving the globalist’s agenda. Every President after Jimmy Carter has been totally bought into the plan. They have all betrayed the American people. They have stolen huge amounts of money from the U.S. government (what happened to the $3 trillion that suddenly was forgotten when 9/11 hit?) Now the betrayal is so open and outrageous that even a total fool should be able to see it.
The ones that didn’t vet him were the democrat Congress and Senate. Remember, obama presided over a total democrat House of Congress and couple with the bias media, they put obama in office.
The Muslim/Traitor in the White House is incapable of being embarrassed just like he is incapable of telling the truth.
I NEVER VOTED FOR HIM FOR ALL THE REASONS YOU STATED
You got that right…EVEN US UNEDUCATED STUPID REPUBLICANS KNEW THAT….Hmmmm Who’s the big DUMMY now ? OH yeah, it’s obummer. And I’m being gentle .
No, the Liar knew it would happen. That’s why The Liar gave them all that money, over $150Billion. And ‘Congress’ looks like fools again, as usual. I will be glad to elect someone, anyone, even if only to get a different face to toss darts at. I haven’t been this dismayed since Nixon, even Carter was forgotten, for a bit.
This pathetic excuse for a want to be leader NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED NOW before IT Cando more WORLD HARM…
I’m not sure all of you guys understand. Obama does know exactly what he is doing. All the more reason to be very concerned.
Right on ! It is amazing how many people cannot see this. He is an Illegal in the Presidents office. He is a Muslim. He hates the United States, because of his Muslim schooling. But he is not dumb. He is doing all he can as fast as he can to destroy this country, & sadly even the majority of the elected officials in Washington DC, are either too dumb or too corrupt to do anything about this TRAITOR.
I agree, either to incompetent or he knows exactly what he’s doing. Don’t forget, the majority of Muslims vote Democratic. I almost peucked today when he said God bless America after his GD free the slaves speech. I have absolutely N O respect for him or that lying POS Hillary
I really don’t know, but this stricks me as a J Edgar Hoover re-run. Could he have something on every member of Congress and Supreme Court? SCJOTUS Roberts changed his vote and tune right after BHO had a “talk” with him. Why? Why doesn’t anyone want to challenge him on anything? What has happened? What will it take to open the lips of Congress? A bullet? That just could happen, with the way things are going, however, I seriously doubt it. Not many people care, those that do are too far scattered to do much good.
STEVE: I saw a segment on Fox last night where a guy put together a “petition” to eliminate the first ammendment and the DOPES at the college — I think it was YALE –actually signed it……so they’re all dumb as dirt or SMART like a fox…..maybe these upcoming youngsters are all a bunch of Commie lovers…
Of course it violates the “deal”. The whole thing was a sham so that the frozen $150 billion would be released. Any negotiation of an agreement of this magnitude is not “a deal” but a “official treaty” despite the semantics manipulation by the Oblowhard administration. Congress did not approve it so it is meaningless and Obama pulled another fast one over on Congress and the people.
like trump said we did not even get the people in jail back dum people trump is right but are afraid of him go trump 2016
YEP!
It is his plan. Why would he try to push so hard for it when a majority was against it…..$150 billion and a 24 DAY (not hour) notice before inspection….crazy! It goes right along with everything else he is currently doing.
You’re Right about that, and did you know that “We”, Americans will not do the Inspecting??? Russia,China, N-Korea will be doing the Inspections after a 2 week notice and certain buildings are Off Limits to them. Aren’t we Stupid, or what? Or should I say, is every one in the Congress on Drugs ?? Judicial Watch is just exposing Hittlery in a Deal with Russia that paid the Clintons 3 Million $$, by negotiating the sale of a Uranium mine in the U.S. to Russia. Assuring them they’ll continue to build Nuclear Weapons. Is that not Treasonous? or what? Hittlery should be hanging by a short rope , 50 feet over the Potomac River. It’s been quiet, but ,you mean to tell me Obozzo didn’t know about it?? FBI should open another Criminal case against Hittlery.
It is waaaaaaaay past time for the House and And the Senate to Charge Barack Obama with treason, try and convict him for the acts of treason he has committed several times. He should be thrown out of office and given a harsh prison sentence for his crimes against the American public! Better late than never!
As a matter of fact, about 75% of our elected officials should also be tried for treason, but it would go to the Supreme Court, & get thrown out, because they are not any better. GOD HELP US !!
All the comments are valid, and we all know President Stupid should be in GITMO as well as his liberal friends that are destroying the USA. Why are people so stupid to have elected him to begin with and then a second time (through fraud)
Gee–surprise, surprise! Did anyone really think that the Iranian agreement was worth the paper it was printed on?
The deal made with Iran, supposedly was never consummated,
American signed, Iran has yet to. We in essence got nothing.
Iran is the proponent of terror in the world. Their believe is
by creating chaos they will release their deity “MAHDI”
to bring peace to the world. Crazy concept.
COMPLAINING IS NOT ENOUGH! Make calls, spread the word. DEMAND IMPEACHMENT! Call Rep Louie Gohmer. He has the papers, needs to hear from many. Even if it takes long – once impeached, all that BO has done, will be annulled.
That’s major. Get busy. BTW.. I heard that the Smart Meters, and the new, mandatory, Chinese light bulbs, may actually be transmitters, which send subliminal signals through the household. Google: David Ichie (spelling?) Agenda 21

The Iranian, Shiite Muslim notion of the “Twelfth Imam”–the Imam Mahdi, fits the Biblical description of the Antichrist to a T. Interestingly, even the Muslims say that this Imam Mahdi will only reign for seven years (the length of time that the Bible declares that the Antichrist will reign). As a further point of interest, most Muslims believe that “Jesus, son of Mary” will come at the end of time. In discussing this with a Muslim friend, he informed me that he did indeed believe in Jesus as a prophet of God. My question to him, which he could not answer was, “If you believe that He was a ‘prophet of God’ then why don’t you believe Him? He said that He is the Son of God in John 5:25.”
The money says it all. In God We trust. It don’t say in muslims we trust or even in govt we trust.
It is crystal clear that Trump is the only candidate for peace. That is why all the other’s are making personal attacks on him instead of trying to analyze and discuss the issues. It is a sign of desperate panic when the establishment shills come out and say defending the nation is unconstitutional. All other candidates seem ready and willing to roll over and capitulate to islam. What makes those against a ban on muslims think that islam itself is not vetting who they send to Europe and the US to make sure they dedicated jihadists and be willing to stand up for Mo and sharia law and honor killings?
And who is paying the expenses of all these poor and displaced people to travel to Europe by foot or plane or boat to the US? Is this what the 150 billion to Iran in Os deal with them is used for?????
Resign O, resign! The attempted cover up of an Obama-islam partnership has been vetted by Trump! And the RINOs have been exposed for what they are. RINOs! Our elected officials have to contend with American voters in a way like never before. Because no one in the past has ever tried to do the nation in. Except maybe Benedict Arnold? Voters have been sucker punched too often to believe anything claimed by dysfunctional DC. DC= dysfunctional congress. Or is it dysfunctional candidates for the most part. We the people have been am-bushed by RINOs. We expect that from O and the White Mosque.
Iran has yet to sign the agreement ??
What agement is that ?
And Washington trusts Iran??
Time for Trump !!
Is anyone surprised? It was a foregone conclusion that Iran would do whatever they wanted to do and no one (especially obama) would do thing about it. obama has given them everything they wanted and more because he is a muslim and has stated he will always back them over America.
A bad deal is a bad deal. Let’s see if Iran’s actions knock any sense into the heads of all the idiots who approved including those secret deals Obama made that nobody was told about. It is time to snap the sanctions back into place: let’s see how quick it happens.
And obama will do nothing!!!
Iran doesn’t take Obama seriously they know he is a joke he a pansy.
Uhhh, Obuslim was hoping you wouldn’t notice that.
It is my understanding that Iran never signed that deal–only the U.S. As for who voted Obama into office, the majority of voters that voted for him were in their early ’20’s according to one news magazine. In short, they were voting for a “cool dude” and the Rep. candidate was anything but cool–he couldn’t even spell the word hell, he had to spell it: h-e-double toothpicks! Last point–watch and see if Obama doesn’t call off the 2016 elections on some trumped up premise and decide to stay in office for the foreseeable future. I’m seeing more signs that he is planning to do just that. Sorry! He is a tool of Satan and Satan is very busy right now.
I support:
“HILLARY for PRISON – 2016”
We are beginning to see the foolishness behind what was touted as one of hallmarks of President Obama’s administration. It’s time to issue another Neville Chamberlain award. Perhaps the failed hallmarks of the Obama administration is what this president will be known for–Mr. Obama worked for and embraced failure.
There only way to stop all in the terrorist land is to let them have a dos of past Prisedent Harry Truman. Not to kill but close enough to let them feel the strength. The A Bomb
This for our queen how proud do you feel for the first time in your life that you married a stupid idiot for husband that screwed this country , you should be very proud but look at the clothes you now have with tax payers money and all thoughts great vacations
Gee, surely you jest, oh Numbnuts just does’nt get it, or maybe he does and wants Iran to nuke the USA.
