Last Wednesday, after Iran having carried out a series of missile launches, State Department spokesman John Kirby said if the reports were true, the activity would violate U.N. resolutions. On Monday – after Russia contested that – Kirby softened his language, saying the launches were “inconsistent with” and “in defiance of” the resolutions.
