"Our defense industry is able to build missiles with a range of 2000 km with a margin of error of zero. This means that we can hit everything with mathematical certainty within the 2000 km. We military do not study resolutions, we "We pursue the development of our power and no one can prevent us from doing so. That underground missile plant that we have shown to the world is just a storage facility, but we would love to open the doors of our brand new plants located throughout our country." declared to the Iranian state television the general of Guard corps of the Islamic revolution Hossein Salamis.
Last 11 October, Iran successfully tested a new long-range ballistic missile called "Emad". Considered a variant of the Shahab-3, it features a new advanced guidance and control system which would make it as Iran's first precision intermediate-range ballistic missile. Precisely on the new missile, the defense ministry comment was clear: "To strengthen our defense, we must not ask anyone's permission and the new 'Emad' is a clear example of our developing programs."
Iranian officials have always stressed that "the defense of the country cannot be influenced by the nuclear agreement signed with the world powers the 14 last July with the resolution of the United Nations Security Council".
