Baku, Azerbaijan, March 9

By Farhad Daneshvar - Trend:

A senior Iranian commander has highlighted the country's capacity for producing missiles, saying the Islamic Republic does not have enough space for keeping its home-made missiles.

"Our storing missiles capability is less than [our capability in] producing them," ISNA news agency quoted Hossein Salami, deputy commander of the Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as saying.

"We have a large arsenal of ballistic missiles with various ranges that are ready to be launched against targets from numerous points in the country," he added.

Saying that the IRGC forces launched several missiles on March 8 from underground bases, he added that the IRGC also launched the Qadir missiles on March 9.

As part of the ongoing missile drills codenamed Eqtedar-e-Velayat 1, the IRGC hit pre-designated targets by Qadr H and Qadr F ballistic missiles in the country's southern coasts of Mokran on March 9.

The IRGC launched the massive missile drills in several bases across the country on March 8.

Some western experts have suggested that the missile drills have breached the terms of a July nuclear deal between Iran and the world powers, however, the White House said Iran's recent ballistic missile tests did not violate the nuclear agreement with Tehran.
