Iran minister rejects Trump vow to renegotiate nuclear deal

They're looking for a new resolution now. Your implication by referencing the P5+1 exclusively is that the agreement stands on it's own. It doesn't.

This is the only way I can explain this because you are clearly still not understanding this... The UN resolution is about missiles... The P5+1 deal is about the capability to develop a nuclear warhead.

Originally, before the P5+1 came into existence as the negotiating platform, talks were agreed to focus both on the elimination of nuclear weapons development and the means with which to deliver that weapon. That is the understanding the administration had with our Congress. The missiles Iran was and is developing are solely for that purpose. In splitting the missiles out and assigning responsibility for their elimination to the UN, we effectively took that issue off the table, and naturally Iran will violate that without fear of serious repercussions because the resolution, 2231 I believe, asks Iran to refrain from testing such missiles. They are now testing a re-entry vehicle on their newest missile. What do you think that's for?

So your admitting that the P5+1 negotiations had nothing to do with missiles.... AKA what I've been saying this whole time.

The missiles Iran was and is developing are solely for that purpose.

Except the P5+1 agreement blocks them from developing a nuclear warhead, thus blocking them delivering such nuclear warhead via a ballistic missile.. Oh yea and it just so happens a deal that Iran is in compliance with: "The United Nations nuclear agency reports Iran is complying with a milestone agreement to limit stockpiles of key ingredients that can be used to produce nuclear weapons."

They were never "together". The two issues were never negotiated together. They were always "split".

and assigning responsibility for their elimination to the UN,we effectively took that issue off the table,

False, its still on the table hence the UNSC resolutions and continued sanctions and even implemented more.... "US imposes new sanctions on Iranian firms over ballistic missile test" US imposes new sanctions on Iranian firms over ballistic missile test | World news | The Guardian
" the U.S. has maintained its sanctions on Iran due to the Persian Gulf country's alleged sponsorship of arms shipments in the Middle East and its ballistic missile program." IAEA: Iran Complying with Nuclear Pact

and naturally Iran will violate that without fear of serious repercussions because the resolution, 2231 I believe, asks Iran to refrain from testing such missiles.

And because of these violations of the ballistic missile program the sanctions will remain in place.

They are now testing a re-entry vehicle on their newest missile. What do you think that's for?

Major thing is improved accuracy.
"The Qadr H can reportedly carry a multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) warhead. This enables multiple targets to be hit by the same missile but with smaller individual warheads. It also greatly complicates any attempt to shoot down the incoming threat by missile defence systems.. However, the overall payload weight limit remains unchanged and so the destructive capacity of even a MIRVed Qadr H with conventional explosives is probably no greater than a Western strike fighter."
