1st LD: Iran top leader vows to enhance missile capability

Xinhua, May 10, 2017 Adjust font size:

Iran will increase its missile capability despite the enemies' propaganda against it, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday, according to his official website.

"The hype over Iran's missile capability is because of their (enemies) spite and anger about this element of power in Iran," Khamenei said to commanders of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps.

"We possess missiles which are very precise and can hit the targets with high precision from thousands of kilometers away," he said, adding that "We will preserve this capability with all in power and will increase it powerfully." Endit
