Iran’s DM: Missile Range Increased to Face Possible Threats

International

Iran’s Defense Minister said the Islamic Republic is the fourth missile power in the world, adding that the range of manufacturing missiles had increased.

“Iran has an acceptable status among countries possessing missile capabilities, and stands after the United States, Russia and China,” Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan said in a televised interview on Friday.

“In proportion to possible threats against the country, we have tried to increase the range of our missiles,” the Iranian minister added.

 

The country is currently striving to boost the accuracy of the missiles and make them radar-evading, he noted.

Dehqan further pointed to efforts by the US and its allies to include the issue of Iran’s missile capability in the nuclear talks between Tehran and the P 5+1  and said the negotiations would only cover the nuclear issue.

“What we are discussing with the P5+1 is merely the nuclear issue and no other topic has been put and will be put on the agenda,” the defense minister said.

He noted that Iran decides about its own missile and defense capabilities and no other entity will be able to impose its will on the country’s decisions in the missile sector.
