WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - The White House said on Thursday it could not confirm reports that Iran had carried out a new round of missile tests earlier in the day but urged Tehran to stop its testing.

"The expanded use of ballistic missiles are in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. "We want to see them stop enriching uranium and we would like to see them stop these provocative tests that only further isolate the Iranian people."

He said the White House was aware of reports Iran tested missiles on Thursday for a second straight day but said he was not able to confirm them. (Reporting by David Alexander; Editing by Kristin Roberts)
