Commander: IRGC's missiles can hit US targets with ease
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Oct 4, IRNA -- All US military bases in the Middle East are within the range of the IRGC's missiles, but the country still sees no restriction for boosting its missile capabilities, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force said on Sunday.
'Some of the threats by the US are aimed at appeasing the Zionists, while others are for the purpose of domestic consumption (in the US), but what is important is that they are aware of and acknowledge our capabilities and deterrence power; we do not feel any need to increase the range of our missiles and (our perceived enemy) targets are fully within the range of our missiles,' Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said, addressing a group of professors of Iran's Science and Technology University in Tehran on Sunday.
He pointed to the allegations made about imposing restrictions on Iran's missile technology, and said, 'We do not see any restriction for our missiles and the IRGC's preparedness and missile drills are conducted without a halt and according to our annual time-table, but only some of them are publicized through the media.'
Brigadier General Hajizadeh pointed to Iran's self-sufficiency in the missile technology, and said, 'Today, all surface-to-surface missiles are fully built in Iran (from idea to finished product), different communications and wireless systems are (also) made inside the country and we do not need to buy radar systems from abroad.'
