Revolutionary Guards commander says Iran’s missile work will never stop
The IRGC test-fired several ballistic missiles on Tuesday and Wednesday, state media reported. The tests are seen as a challenge to a United Nations resolution and the 2015 nuclear deal under which Tehran agreed to restrict its atomic programme in exchange for relief from economic sanction. – AFP file pic, March 10, 2016. Iran's ballistic-missile programme will never stop under any circumstances and Tehran has missiles ready to be fired, said a senior commander of the country's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) according to state TV today.
"Iran's missile programme will not stop under any circumstances... The IRGC has never accepted the UN Security Council resolutions on Iran's missile work... we are always ready to defend the country against any aggressor. Iran will not turn into Yemen, Iraq or Syria," Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh told state TV on late Wednesday.
