Iran denies reported transfer of missile test data to North Korea

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tokyo, May 29, Kyodo/OANA/IRNA -- The Iranian Embassy in Japan on 
Friday denied a recent report that North Korea may be getting missile 
test data from the Islamic Republic. 
"We strongly deny the report," carried by Kyodo News on Thursday, 
Hamid Sedeghi, the embassy`s press attache, said in a statement in 
Japanese addressed to Kyodo News. 
"We emphasize that there is no military cooperation between Iran 
and North Korea," he added. 
The report in question, datelined Washington, quoted a senior US 
administration official saying the United States is concerned North 
Korea may be getting missile test data from Iran, making the 
effectiveness of Pyongyang`s moratorium on missile test-launches 
doubtful. 
"We`ve been concerned that maybe the Iranians are sharing data 
about their tests with North Korea, perhaps in exchange for nuclear 
technology," the official told Kyodo News on condition of anonymity.
