Iran will continue missile programme

Tehran: Iran’s Foreign Ministry says the country will continue to enhance its missile capabilities in defiance of the ‘destructive’ fresh US sanctions over the Islamic Republic’s missile program.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement, read out by Hossein Jaberi Ansari during his weekly press briefing on Monday.

In reaction to the recent move by the United States to announce new sanctions against Iran for its ballistic missile program, he said, Tehran will firmly respond to such “propaganda measures.”

“We will respond to such propaganda stunts and disruptive measures by more robustly pursuing our lawful missile program.”
