"The Islamic Republic of Iran and the regional resistance has many times been threatened by the US and Israel. Therefore we must add to our military power in order to secure our national security. This is something that will be overshadowed by nothing else," he stressed.
"We have clear plans for after the JCPOA," he said, adding, "Our missiles will soon roar."
Iran Army Commander Ataollah Salehi has said the country will meet no limitation regarding its missile system.

Some parties in Iran worry that the terms of the deal are arranged so as to weaken the country militarily. But Tehran has always emphasized that it will not overlook its need to have a powerful military.
