U.S. says it is considering response to Iran regime’s ballistic missile test

The Obama administration is considering how to respond to a ballistic missile launch by the Iranian regime that violated U.N. Security Council resolutions, senior U.S. officials said on Thursday, as senators pressed for a strong reaction.
"We are now actively considering the appropriate consequences to that launch in October," Stephen Mull, the U.S. State Department's lead coordinator for implementing an international nuclear deal with Iran's regime, told a Senate committee hearing, Reuters reported.
Almost every Republican U.S. lawmaker, as well as several of President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats, opposed the nuclear agreement announced in July, under which Iran's regime has said it would curtail its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.
