Iran: Missile industry won’t be hurt by sanctions

Two days after UN Security Council decides to impose sanctions on Islamic Republic, Iranian officials continue to condemn decision, claiming illegality of resolution. During visit to Iranian military industrial factories, defense minister says country’s missile industry based on self-sufficient knowledge, won’t be hurt by sanctions.

Iran continued to condemn the resolution passed by the UN Security Council Saturday to impose sanctions on the Islamic Republic. Iranian Defense Minister Mustafa Mohammed Najjar responded Monday to the UN resolution, saying that the Iranian missile industry is more independent than ever, and is based on self-sufficient knowledge.

“Thanks to the efforts of the scientists and experts of the Defense Ministry, the defense industry, namely, the missile industry, is more independent than ever,” said Najjar.
