Iranian companies were ordered to leave an international defense show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia after they exhibited missile equipment in violation of U.N. rules, an official said Thursday.
Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said Iranian companies were ordered out of the Defense Services Asia show after they exhibited missile systems that were deemed "offensive" and contravened U.N. resolutions.
"Unfortunately, when we came around to inspecting their stand, they displayed equipment that clearly contravened the U.N. resolution - equipment such as missiles and missile systems and others," Najib told reporters Thursday adding that Malaysian authorities had "no option" but to tell Iran to leave.
