U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley Nimrata (Nikki) Haley'The soul' versus 'law and order' Author Ryan Girdusky: RNC worked best when highlighting 'regular people' as opposed to 'standard Republicans' GOP lobbyists pleasantly surprised by Republican convention MORE on Tuesday accused Iran of violating international law by supplying ballistic missiles to Yemeni rebels and called on the U.N. to respond.

Information recently released by Saudi Arabia shows a missile launched into the country in July by Yemen’s Houthi rebels was an Iranian Qiam, a type of weapon not previously present in Yemen.

“By providing these types of weapons to the Houthi militias in Yemen, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is violating two UN resolutions simultaneously,” Haley said in a statement. “We encourage the release of any information that will help to hold Iran accountable for its support of violence and terrorism in the region and the world.”

A separate missile, intercepted Saturday in Riyadh, may also be of Iranian origin, Haley said.

Haley blasted Iran for its “complete disregard for its international obligations,” and called on the U.N. to “take necessary action to hold the Iranian regime accountable for these violations.”

“The United States is committed to containing Iran’s destabilizing actions and will not turn a blind eye to these serious violations of international law by the Iranian regime,” Haley said.

Relations with Iran have been a source of division within the Trump administration.

President Trump has declared the Iran nuclear deal, negotiated by the Obama administration, is no longer in the best interest of the United States and called on Congress to pass new benchmarks Iran needs to meet to avoid sanctions in the future.
