Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 26
By Khalid Kazimov – Trend:
Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says that all missile tests in the Islamic Republic have been carried out following coordination with the country’s Supreme Council of National Security chaired by President Hassan Rouhani and the approval of Supreme Leader Aytatollah Ali Khamenei.
The head of public relations office at the IRGC, Brigadier General Ramazan Sharif, has said that the general staff of the armed forces of the country has also approved all missile tests carried out by the IRGC, ISNA news agency reported.
Brigadier General Ramazan Sharif further asserted that the missile tests and the country’s nuclear deal with the world powers known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) are two different issues, adding that such missile tests have a deterrent effect.
The officials from Iran and the US have recently exchanged sharp criticism over several reports on the Islamic Republic’s recent missile tests.
