ISNA � Missile test in Iran is not a violation of nuclear pact, spokeswoman for EU foreign-policy chief in a reaction to recent claims that Iran conducted a new missile test emphasized.

Nabila Massrali, spokeswoman for EU foreign-policy chief Federica Mogherini, told reporters in Brussels that �the Iranian ballistic-missile program was not part� of the 2015 nuclear pact with world powers and �hence the tests are not a violation of it.� She said it was up to the top UN body to determine if they contravened its�resolution�2231 on ballistic technology, Bloomberg reported.

In Tehran on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif didn�t confirm a test and said�Iran was fully complying with its obligations under the 2015 accord struck with the U.S., three European nations, Russia and China.

Iran�s missile program �has nothing to do� with the nuclear agreement, Zarif said at a joint press conference with his French counterpart, Jean-Marc Ayrault. �We will not use our weapons against anyone unless it�s in our own defense.�
