Iran's Missile Test to Counter Hegemony of Others
Tehran Times 26 July 1998
Iran's Missile Test aimed at demonstrating its determination that it was not ready to accept the hegemony of others was provingly successful. Iran has successfully tested a long-range missile, it was officially confirmed yesterday evening. The Iranian test should be viewed in a perspective that our world in which we live is divided in two blocks strong and weak where the might is right. As it is a practice that stronger ones always try to dictate the weaker ones and the weak has no choice but to surrender before the might. One of the basic principles of the Islamic Revolution is to be independent and not to accept the hegemony of any power. For this in mind it is natural that we should have sound economy, strong political base and a stronger defense.
