Iran test-fires new missile amid boost of deterrence power: IRGC chief
Tehran (KNA) - The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says that Iran has test-fired a new missile.
"Our country is always the arena for testing a variety of defense and strategic systems and these are non-stop movements towards the growth of our deterrence power," Major General Hossein Salami said on Saturday.
"And yesterday was one of the successful days for this nation," he added without providing any further details about the missile launch.
Salami's remarks came a day after Iranian Deputy Defense Minister General Qassem Taqizadeh said that Iran posses "very accurate missiles which we have not publicized".
"We manufacture missiles limited to [what is needed to address] threats, and for now, we know that they are within 1800 km of us. We have, however, increased their precision. Long gone is the time when we were making Shahab 1 missiles," he said.
