Jahangiri: Iran's missile power main factor in its deterrence capabilities

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Oct 25, IRNA -- First Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri said Iran's missile power is one of the major factors contributing to its deterrence capabilities.

Addressing a gathering of senior defense ministry officials here on Tuesday, he referred to sanctions as one of the reasons for the progress of Iranian defense industries.

He said Iran should retain its missile capabilities to make enemies stop daydreaming about attacking the country.

He said Iran could play a constructive and effective role in the region only when it enjoys good defense power.

Thanks to the defense ministry activities and achievements, he said, Iran is now considered as a country with high degree of security and stability in the region.
