Hillary Clinton says Iran should face sanctions after reportedly carrying out ballistic missile tests.
“I am deeply concerned by reports that Iran has tested multiple missiles, which it claimed were stamped with words declaring that ’Israel should be wiped from the pages of history,’” said the Democratic presidential candidate in a statement Wednesday.
“This rhetoric is repulsive and has no place in the community of nations, and as President I will continue to stand with Israel against such threats,” she continued.
“Iran should face sanctions for these activities, and the international community must demonstrate that Iran’s threats toward Israel will not be tolerated.”
Clinton said the missile launches constitute a “blatant violation of Iran’s UN Security Council obligations, and such violations must have consequences.”
Clinton has voiced support for the Iran deal on the campaign trail and has said she helped open the door to the landmark agreement as Obama’s first-term secretary of State.
But on Wednesday, she called for the U.S. to “address Iran’s destabilizing activities across the region, while vigorously enforcing the nuclear deal.”
