The US is building a new advanced missile defense system — and Iran could be one reason why

Iran just launched a ballistic missile in apparent violation of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions.

On Tuesday, Reuters reportedthat Iran "tested a liquid-fueled missile ... capable of carrying a nuclear warhead" last month, citing two anonymous US officials. 

The test would mark Iran's second illicit ballistic-missile launch since the landmark nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was reached between Iran and a US-led group of six countries earlier this year.

Iran also tested a long-range, nuclear-capable Emad-class missile in October.

The July nuclear deal is aimed at implementing a number of non-binding controls on Iran's ability to stockpile fissile materials for a nuclear weapon over the next 15 years, in exchange for the lifting of most US and EU and all UN sanctions on the country.
