The way things are going, a fresh rift between Iran and the US look imminent. The US President Donald Trump¡¯s national security advisor reprimanded Iran¡¯s most recent missile test as well as its attack on a Saudi navy ship.
America said it was ¡°officially putting Iran on notice¡±.

US National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn said, ¡°Recent Iranian actions, including a provocative ballistic missile launch and an attack against a Saudi naval vessel conducted by Iran-supported Houthi militants, underscore what should have been clear to the international community all along about Iran¡¯s destabilizing behavior across the Middle East.¡±
Iran did confirm that on Wednesday it had tested a new missile but also added that it did not breach globally established nuclear agreements. According to Flynn, though, the test violated UN Council Resolution 2231.

He also said that former President Barack Obama¡¯s administration ¡°failed to respond adequately to Tehran¡¯s malign actions [that have] placed American lives at risk¡±.
¡°Iran is being emboldened. As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice,¡± added the National Security advisor.
