Iran tests missile systems, vows to fire ‘roaring missiles’ if threatened


Iran has conducted missile and radar tests, with the military vowing to fire “roaring missiles” if the country is threatened. It comes as the US hits Iran with more sanctions and the Pentagon brands Tehran the biggest state sponsor of terrorism, RT reports.

The latest exercise took place in Semnan Province on Saturday, covering 35,000 square kilometers, and the Revolutionary Guards website said the drills took place to “showcase the power of Iran's revolution and to dismiss the sanctions.”

The drills are aimed at testing home-made missile systems, radars, command and control centers, and cyber-warfare systems, Iranian state news agencies reported, as cited by Reuters.

If Iran’s security is threatened, Tehran will not hesitate to retaliate, the military added in separate remarks.

“We are working day and night to protect Iran's security. If we see [the] smallest misstep from the enemies, our roaring missiles will fall on their heads,” the head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace unit, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.
