Missile Capabilities

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh says there is no point in raising the issue of Iran’s missile program as its case was closed with the 2015 nuclear deal and the UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has rejected any negotiation over the Islamic Republic’s “legitimate” ballistic missile program.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says the country will neither negotiate nor compromise on its national security, warning Germany about its efforts to achieve what the US “maximum pressure” policy failed to fulfil.

Iranian Defence Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami has unveiled plans to extend the range of homegrown air-launched cruise missiles beyond 1,000 kilometers.

The Iranian president has reiterated that the Islamic Republic pursues a defence and deterrence strategy which poses no threat to any country in the region, especially Iran’s neighbours.

Iran’s Defence Ministry has unveiled a surface-to-surface ballistic missile, named after the late IRGC commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, with a range of 1,400 kilometres.

A senior Iranian military commander says “underground missile-launching cities” are strewn all across the southern coast.

The Iranian Navy test-fired new homegrown cruise missiles on Thursday in a military exercise in the northern parts of the Indian Ocean to hit targets at a distance of 280 kilometers.

Iran’s foreign minister has dismissed as baseless the UN Secretariat's claim that the missiles which hit the installations of the Saudi Aramco company were of Iranian origin.

An Iranian IRGC commander says the country plans to increase the orbital altitude of its military satellite to reach a geosynchronous equatorial orbit of 36,000 kilometres in the coming years. 

The Iranian president has praised the successful launch into orbit of the country’s first defence satellite as an invaluable national achievement.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has rejected the stances adopted by France and the UK on the launch of Iranian homegrown Noor satellite as a result of double standards and accepting the US bullying policies.

Spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Seyyed Abbas Mousavi has downplayed recent concerns raised by the International Atomic Energy Agency over Iran’s refusal to permit its experts to access two nuclear “sites”, saying the IAEA has recklessly misused the phrase.

Iran’s Defence Minister Amir Hatami says the Islamic Republic will strongly continue to develop its satellite carriers as it is the nation’s unquestionable right to possess such missiles.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Spokesman Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif says Washington is trying to hide the number of the slain soldiers during Iran’s missile attack on Ain al-Assad base in Iraq.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi has rejected France's meddlesome statement on the Islamic Republic’s space program, saying that it is the country’s inherent right to develop science and technology.

Spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) General Ramezan Sharif says that the US military “are finished in the region” after IRGC missile strikes on their base “humiliated them in the eyes of the military people in the world.”

Iran’s newest homegrown satellite, dubbed Zafar (victory), has been successfully launched with a domestically-made satellite carrier on Sunday evening.

A spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Defence says the homegrown Zafar (Victory) satellite and the Simorgh satellite carrier have been transferred to the Imam Khomeini National Space Centre in preparation for the launch process.

Iran has unveiled its latest homegrown missile, named Ra'ad 500 as well as a composite engine named Zahir and the spatial composite engine Salman.

Iran’s minister of information and communications technology has announced the final countdown for the launch of the country’s newest homegrown satellite “Zafar” (Victory).

A top Iranian military official says Washington will have to announce the casualties that the US military suffered in Iran’s retaliatory missile strike on the American Ayn al-Assad base in Iraq.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says its recent missile attack on a US base in Iraq was not aimed at killing American troops but sought to damage the US war machine.

A top military advisor to the Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution says the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel were behind the assassination of IRGC Quds Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq.

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force says the American aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf are no more deemed to be threats against Iran, and have turned into easy targets for the Iranian missiles instead.
