IRGC Commander: No need for Iran to produce intercontinental missiles."Israel is our longest-range target,"(TI). "We don't need missiles with over 2000km but we have the technology to build them," Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh told reporters today.
"Israel is our longest-range target," the commander underscored.
The remarks by Hajizadeh came a few days after an internal US report recently submitted to US Congress claimed that Iran is apparently no longer on its way to acquiring intercontinental ballistic missiles by 2015.
"Since there are U.S. and Israeli bases in the region, Iran does not need intercontinental missiles to hit them," Hajizadeh said.
"Short-range and medium-range missiles would be enough. We don't need missiles with more than a 2,000-kilometer range, even though have the technology to build them."
The IRGC commander noted that the distance between Iran and Israel is the maximum range that Tehran requires its missiles fly.Hmmmm......Read the full story here.
