U.S. senator calls for response to Iran rocket launch

January 5, 2016

U.S. Sen. John McCain recently called on President Barack Obama's administration to issue a strong response to Iran following the recent test firing of several rockets that came within 1,500 yards of American aircraft carriers in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. military officials announced the incident Dec 26. No one was harmed, but the surprise test was seen as a provocative move.
