The U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur declined to comment, saying it “doesn’t discuss details of diplomatic exchanges.”

It say all, and SushiSake3's elaboration is helpful in understanding the incident well.

I have no objections to them showing missiles - it is a defense show after all.

All countries that have weapons of destruction in their posession are just as bad as each other. If each place was so "good and inocent" they would have disarmed and destroyed them. Paranoid War mongers!

It's only natural that Iran, gunning for numero uno among those nations which have made the precepts of the Religion of Peace the foundation of their governments, should display to competing failures of Mohammedan social engineering like Malaysia just how much firepower they have amassed from infidel Russia, Germany, France and China.

Najib said the exhibit was in defiance of U.N. resolutions that ban Iranian arms exports and forbid countries from providing Iran with technical and financial assistance that could contribute to its alleged nuclear weapons program.

The problem is not that missiles are banned from this show, the ban only applies to Iran!

Kicked out? Terminated? Pretty strong language. A good way to antagonize a nation.

I agree with Skip. It's a defense show, show defenses available.

It's when they go behind closed doors and sell these missiles to contries or terrorists groups that we have a problem.

Show what you got and countries can see if they have defenses available to counter these threats.
