Vice-President Mohammad-Javad Zarif praised Iran’s self-sufficiency in missile capabilities, emphasizing the country’s pride in independently developing them. He highlighted the shift from previously relying on others for missiles to now constructing them domestically.
Zarif also touched on the nuclear negotiations in 2015, stating that despite not discussing missiles during those talks, Iran made it clear that they have transitioned from begging for missiles to building them with national pride.
Discussing Iran’s missile capabilities, Zarif showcased the country’s ability to produce missiles in accordance with ethical and war principles. He firmly stated that Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is a separate issue, firmly denied by the Leader’s religious decree.
Paying homage to Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, the pioneer of Iran’s missile power, Zarif honored him as a national hero and praised the sacrifices made by martyrs and their families in defending their country.
