Missile Capabilities

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan has underlined Iran's resolve to boost its military might, saying the Islamic Republic will leave no stone unturned in developing its missile capabilities.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the Islamic Republic has never even considered launching military aggression against any other country, stressing, however, that Tehran will not seek permission from others to manufacture missiles and fighter jets.

The Iranian Defense Ministry has showcased its recent technological achievements, including a jet designed indigenously for training purposes and other items that were being made public for the first time.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the country’s missile tests have nothing to do with the 2015 nuclear agreement between Tehran and world powers, stressing that the launches do not violate UN Security Council Resolution 2231, either.

Iran’s top military official says few countries worldwide possess the technology of developing long-range missiles with a target accuracy of less than 10 metres, adding at present, Iran is capable of producing and using such armaments.

Iran’s top military official says the country’s military exercises are not performed in response to the threats by some countries or in relation to the political issues of the day, saying the country has pre-determined plans for carrying out its war games.

The Iranian foreign minister says no country dares to engage in a war with Iran, and that Tehran’s influence and power will do no one harm.

Iranian Defence Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan rejected the media report that said the Islamic Republic has tested another ballistic missile, saying such claims are fabricated.

A careful look at the UNSC Resolution 2231 indicates that Iran’s recent ballistic missile test has definitely not breached any of the resolution’s terms and conditions unlike what Trump administration is trying to convey.

Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force highlighted the futility of foreign threats against Iran, stressing that the Armed Forces are ready to defend the country in case the enemy makes a mistake.

An international advisor to the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution says the country will continue to bolster its defence systems despite the threatening language from "rookie" US President Donald Trump over its latest missile test.

Iran has censured recent claims by a top adviser to US President Donald Trump about the Islamic Republic’s missile program as “baseless,” "repetitive," and “provocative.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman referred to missile tests as one of #Iran's “inalienable and absolute” rights in order to defend its security and national interests, and stressed that no country or international body can have any say in this regard.

An Iranian Parliament member says the US, particularly its new Congress, is trying to use Iran’s missile program as a new pretext for adopting further anti-Iran policies in the future.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman says the Islamic Republic’s missile power is a matter of defence, which is not open to any negotiations or compromise at all.

The US Secretary of Energy says the talks between Iran and world powers, which led to the finalization of a nuclear deal known as JCPOA, was just focused on Tehran’s nuclear energy program, not its missile capabilities.

Mohsen Bahrami, head of the Iranian space agency, has said that his country is interested in cooperating with NASA.

Iran’s Air Defense commander said the range of Bavar-373, known as Iran’s homegrown version of Russian-made S-300 missile system, has been extended compared to the Russian gear.
