TEHRAN (Iran News) – Have you ever noticed that after any achievement by the Islamic Revolution of Iran immediately  the Western countries start crying foul and accusing Tehran of not abiding by the international laws? Of course the Islamic Republic of Iran is getting used to such accusations and even bullies, and it marches ahead by continuing more progresses and achievements.

On Thursday the Islamic Republic of Iran once again unveiled another achievement and better to say showed another winning card in the game with the world hegemony and especially with the West and above all the U.S., and as usual, the Western countries started criticizing and accusing Iran of not abiding by the international laws whilee they are themselves main violators of the international laws.

Iran on Thursday successfully tested its most advanced Khorramshahr-class ballistic missile named Kheibar, a medium-range missile that can deliver a 1,500 kg warhead with high accuracy.

The missile was revealed in the presence of Defense Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani during an event commemorating the 41st anniversary of the liberation of the southwestern city of Khorramshahr.

Developed by the Ministry of Defense’s Aerospace Industries Organization, Kheibar is a liquid-fueled missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers. Its enhanced range, advanced guidance and control system, and improved structural features further strengthen Iran’s position as a formidable missile power.

Immediately after this success, Washington and Paris released statements to show their anger about this achievement.

“These activities are all the more worrying in the context of the continuing escalation of Iran’s nuclear program,” French foreign ministry spokesperson Anne-Claire Legendre told reporters on Thursday.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller also claimed that “Iran’s development and proliferation of ballistic missiles poses a serious threat to regional and international security,” as he addressed a Thursday briefing in Washington.

Western countries claim that Iran’s missile tests and rocket launches violate UN Resolution 2231, adopted in July 2015 to endorse the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany.

Reacting to these statements, Iran slammed the reaction of some Western countries to its successful launch of a new medium-range precision-guided ballistic missile, saying they are opposed to the enhancement of the Islamic Republic’s “defensive power.”

Iran has strongly rejected the US allegations that it has violated the UN resolution, insisting that its missile tests and rocket launches are solely for defense purposes and not designed to carry nuclear warheads.

 

Iran has always said that the nuclear deal does not affect its right to build and have a strong national defense, especially after facing international sanctions preventing it from buying weapons to defend itself against the eight-year war that Iraq started in 1980.

In a tweet on Friday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani referred to the history of the Western countries’ arming of Saddam Hussein’s regime during the eight-year imposed war on Iran in the 1980s.

“The same Western governments, especially the US and France, that played a big role in provoking and arming Saddam’s Baathist regime to attack Iran and showering Iranian cities and people with missiles, those are the main suppliers of weapons to the region, are now worried about Iran’s defensive power,” the spokesman wrote.

Of course this is not the first and will not also be the last time that the Western states react angrily to Iran’s achievement and Tehran will pay no heed to such bullies and accusations and continue its defensive programs because Tehran is well aware that the world has turned into a jungle by the world hegemonic states and only might will be right in this jungle and for this reason Tehran is working to strengthen its military especially in defense and improving the missile technology, and increasing the range of missile is one way for becoming might and it will push the West back and they do not dare to take any offensive action against Iran because they know that the slogan of the Islamic Republic of Iran is that the era of hit-and-run has ended and if anyone tries to hit Iran, he should wait for a strong retaliatory hit and for this reason the West and above all the U.S. has just resorted to verbal bully and financial sanctions and this is just because of Iran’s military power especially its defensive sector and its missile and drone progresses which have safeguarded the security of the country from any possible foreign attack.

So, every day we wait for announcement of a new achievement in any field in the country and Iran’s progresses are not limited only to its military section and the country is marching ahead with full speed for progress in all fields especially in the industrial and Nano technology and each of those achievements will turn into a thorn in the eyes of the enemies especially the West.
