“The successful test-firing of the Iran-made ballistic missiles yesterday was a firm response to the prating and talkativeness of the US officials who threaten the Iranian nation continuously,” Dehqan told FNA in the Northern city of Semnan on Tuesday.
“Testing the missiles was a clear response to the US officials’ worn-out phrase ‘the military option is on the table’,” he added.
Dehqan stressed that the Iranian Armed Forces and nation are “always ready and even welcome the Americans’s testing themselves in a military confrontation to witness its consequences.”
The Iranian Defense Ministry subsequently announced on Monday that it has successfully tested two new missiles, including a laser-guided surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missile and a new generation of long-range ballistic missiles carrying Multiple Reentry Vehicle payloads.
The Iranian Defense ministry said it has also “successfully tested a new generation of long-range ballistic missiles with Multiple Reentry Vehicle payloads and a laser-guided air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missile named Bina” (source: http://english.farsnews.com/).
