Army Commander: Iran to Enhance Missile Capabilities Despite UN Resolutions
(Press TV-Iran) Commander of Iran's Army Maj.-Gen. Ataollah Salehi says the country will enhance its missile capabilities despite U.S.-led efforts to curb them. The U.S. government imposed fresh sanctions on Iran over its missile activities, a day after Tehran and the West agreed to implement the nuclear accord (JCPOA). Washington argued that Iran's missile activities violated a UN Security Council resolution which bars the Islamic Republic from developing missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads. On Thursday, Gen. Salehi said, "We are neither paying any attention to the resolutions against Iran, nor implementing them....We are doing our job and our missile program for the future will be stronger and more precise." He added that Iran's weapons are "a threat to the enemies of this establishment. Israel should fully realize the meaning of this concept."
