Tehran, YJC. Secretary of Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani says Iran's missile range is in proportion to threats posed against the country.
Shamkhani made the remarks while visiting an exhibition of
air defense technological advancements in Tehran on Sunday, refuting arguments that
try to bring the country’s missile power into negotiation with Western powers.
"The tests as well as the range of Iranian missiles are in
proportions to the existing threats and there is no deviation in them toward
unconventional weapons,” he asserted.
The air defense base has achieved great things with the help
of universities and military centers and it has invested in the whole areas
needed in air defense, he said.
He noted that Iran's enemies are highly advanced in terms of
air defense and asserted that Iran has a long way to go in developing itself.
The airspace of Iran is now the safest space for civil
aviation, Shamkhani asserted.
He added "Like its nuclear power, Iran's missile power is intrinsic,
local, independent, and self-sufficient. And like the nuclear industry, this
capability seeks peaceful measures.”
