EU warns Iran not to 'deepen mistrust' with missile tests

The EU today warned Iran not to stoke mistrust by continuing ballistic missile tests, after Tehran told the new US administration not to use the issue as a pretext to create fresh tensions.

"The EU reiterates its concern about Iran's missile programme and calls upon Iran to refrain from activities which deepen mistrust, such as ballistic missile tests," an EU foreign affairs spokeswoman said.
