Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan has dismissed remarks by a senior military official suggesting that the country has recently test-fired a 2000-km range ballistic missile with an error margin of eight meters.

"We have not test-fired a 2000-km range ballistic missile with an error margin of eight meters, recently," Fars news agency quoted Dehqan as saying.

However, Dehqan added that the country will never give up its missile program.

Earlier on the day, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Ali Abdollahi said that over the past two weeks the country's armed forces test-fired a 2000-km range ballistic missile, and an error margin of eight meters.
