Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept. 22
By Farhad Daneshvar – Trend:
Colonel Ali Seify, Iran’s military attaché in Azerbaijan, has told Trend that his country’s missile program is merely based on the doctrine of deterrence.
“Our military capabilities - including missile power - are merely defensive and deterrent. They do not make any threats to other countries,” he told Trend on the sidelines of a ceremony in Baku.
“Iran’s missile power serves creating stability in the region,” the attaché added.
Iran unveiled and successfully test-launched its latest ballistic missile dubbed Khorramshahr on Friday.
According to local media reports, the ballistic missile, which is Iran’s third type of missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers along with the Qadr-F and Sejjil ballistic missiles, is capable of carrying multiple warheads.
