The US has put Iran "on notice" after it test-fired a new ballistic missile, President Trump's national security adviser has said.
Retired US Army lieutenant general Michael Flynn said the Trump administration was taking a stand over the test "that put American lives at risk".
Earlier, Iranian defense minister Hossein Dehghan confirmed reports that Tehran launched a medium-range ballistic missile on Sunday, but said the test did not violate a UN Security Council resolution that bans Iran from developing missiles that can carry nuclear warheads.
However, Mr Flynn said Tehran had defied the resolution and hit out at Iran's "destabilizing behavior across the Middle East".
