The resolution adopted in 2015 to endorse the nuclear deal &#8220;calls upon&#8221; \u2014 but does not require \u2014 Iran to halt such activity, and it also supports lifting the arms embargo in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pompeo accused Iran of building the largest ballistic missile force in the region, one capable of threatening the Mideast and Europe, saying it has more than 10 ballistic missile systems in its inventory or in development. He quoting the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard&#8217;s airspace division, Amir Ali Hajzadeh, boasting Monday that Iran is capable of building missiles with a range beyond 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Iran has exploited the goodwill of nations and defied multiple Security Council resolutions in its quest for a robust ballistic missile force,&#8221; Pompeo said. &#8220;The United States will never stand for this.
