Spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik has said that the country’s missile power is growing constantly which is unsanctionable, Mehr News Agency reports.

Talaei-Nik, who is also the deputy defense minister for Strategic, Planning and Parliamentary Affairs, emphasized that Iran’s missile power has been formed thanks to the unflinching efforts of the elites in the missile field

If Iran's missile capability were not indigenous, based on technical knowhow and domestic capacities, it would not have been possible to grow considering the sanctions imposed on the defense sector over the past 45 years, the MoD spokesman said.

Sanctions will not have an impact on the growth of Iran’s missile power technologies since the missile industry’s dependence on the foreign countries has been minimized to a great extent thanks to the indigenized missile power technologies, Talaei-Nik said.
