The United Nations Security Council plans to meet Tuesday to discuss Iran’s recent missile test, which U.S. officials say was conducted in “defiance” of a U.N. resolution restricting the country’s missile program.

France and the U.K. over the weekend requested a U.N. Security Council meeting after Iran tested a medium-range ballistic missile, which can reportedly reach Europe and anywhere in the Middle East.

“Iran’s recent ballistic missile test was dangerous and concerning, but not surprising,” outgoing U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in a statement Tuesday.

“If the Security Council is serious about holding Iran accountable and enforcing our resolutions, then at a minimum we should be able to deliver a unanimous condemnation of this provocative missile test,” Haley added.
