United Nations Security Council and Vice-President Biden

Iran: LaFlamme: Let start with certainly news of the day out of Iran, and state media reporting that they've test-launched missiles and Vice-President Biden saying the U.S. will take action, according to CTV. So what kind of action are we talking about Kerry: Well, Iran knows that under the United Nations Security Council, that is a violation. LaFlamme asked Kerry about the ongoing fight against Islamic State militants, the Syrian refugee crisis and the U.S. administration rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline. And in addition, under the agreement that we reached, we kept the embargo in place with respect to missile launches for 8 years so it also, while not a violation of the nuclear agreement, it a violation of the concept that was embraced within it. LaFlamme: So sanctions, then. So undoubtedly, if confirmed -- and we're doing the homework to make sure everybody knows what they're talking about -- this will invite, I'm confident, additional measures by the United States and perhaps by others.
