US: Iran missile test "step in wrong direction"
WASHINGTON, May 20 (Reuters) - Iran's latest missile test is a "step in the wrong direction" and though the United States wants to engage with Tehran to help make the region more stable, its patience is "not infinite", a U.S. official said on Wednesday.
"Iran just keeps going in the wrong direction. We want them to engage with us, to talk about how we can make the region more stable. This is just a step in the wrong direction," the official said.
