"Today Iran’s indigenized defense power, and specially the missile power which
is the result of the experience gained during the Sacred Defense (Iraqi-imposed
war 1980-1988) years, can neither be weakened nor restricted given its national
identity,” Fars news agency quoted Shamkhani as saying while addressing
university students in the western province of Kurdistan on Monday evening.
"The plans to enhance the country’s defense capacities will powerfully continue
to confront the threats without attention to the foreign pressures and as a
necessity in the national security area,” the top security official stated.
