The United States assumes that Iran may carry out more missile launches in the coming days, following reports of several tests Tehran conducted over the course of this week, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest said on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) � Earlier this week, according to reports, Iran carried out ballistic missile tests that Washington vowed to discuss with the UN Security Council if confirmed.

The US government officials also said that the tests, if verified, would violate UN resolutions but not the terms of the JCPOA.

"It certainly would not be a surprise if there are additional [missile] launches over the next several days that are similar to the launches that we've seen already a couple of times this week," Earnest stated during a press briefing.

Following the adoption of the Iranian nuclear agreement last July, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 2231, which prohibits Iran from engaging in activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.
