Europe's Missile Charges Aim to Cover Up Inaction on Nuclear Deal

The Europeans are creating a big commotion over Iran's nuclear and missile programs in order to deflect attention from their failure to fulfill their commitments under the 2015 nuclear agreement, a political expert says. 
"Europe has begun to support America's rhetoric against Iran to cover up its own shortcomings," Fatemeh Sharifi wrote in a recent article published by IRNA. 
In early December, France, Germany and Britain—the European signatories to the nuclear accord—accused Iran of developing nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, alleging the move goes against a UN Security Council resolution.
Ambassadors from the three European nations urged UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in a letter to inform the council in his next report that Iran's ballistic missile activity is "inconsistent" with the nuclear deal—officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
