WASHINGTON, April 3 (Xinhua) -- The United States
expressed on Monday its concern over Iran's missile and torpedo test and claimed
that it shows Teheran is aggressively pursing program of development of weapons
systems.
"It certainly is of concern. It is a further
reminder of an aggressive program of development of weapons systems that many of
us see as threatening," State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said at a
briefing.
"The fact that in three days you've had the test of a
missile as well as the reported test of a torpedo of nuke capabilities
demonstrates a weaponization program by Iran that does nothing to reassure
Iran's neighbors or the international community," Ereli said.
Ereli also accused Iran of supporting terror and
undergoing clandestine nuclear activity.
Ereli's remarks came after Iran test-fired a new
torpedo successfully in an on-going war game in the Gulf on Monday. The torpedo
test also came days after Iran successfully test-fired a missile with
radar-dodging and multi-targeting capabilities in thewar game last Friday.
