"Iran's missile industry not to stop progress"

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, has underscored Iran's self-sufficiency in different defensive fields, and said the country will powerfully continue its progress in manufacturing different missiles.

No matter what the enemies do and even if they try to impose restrictions on Iran, "we will not stop enhancement of our capability, knowledge and production in defense fields, specially the missile industry", Hajizadeh said, addressing Iranian university officials and professors in Tehran on Sunday.

Stressing the important role played by universities and academic centers in increasing Iran's capabilities, he said, "Thanks God, today, we have gained self-sufficiency in different defense fields."

General Hajizadeh had also announced earlier this month that the country has increased the number of its ballistic missiles, while increasing their precision-striking capability.
