Islam Times - All military bases in the region within range of Iran missiles: IRGC Cmdr.

Islam Times - A senior Iranian military official says all military bases in the Middle East are within the range of the Iranian-designed and -built missiles.

Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami said on Friday that Iranian surface-to-surface, surface-to-air and long-range ballistic missiles can reach any military bases in the region, and hit the desired targets with high precision.

The United States, the Israeli regime, and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear program. Washington and Tel Aviv have at times threatened Tehran with the "option" of a military strike against its civilian nuclear facilities.

Iran argues that as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has every right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

The IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence indicating that Tehran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted towards nuclear weapons production.

On March 20, the leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei emphasized that the Iranian nation will respond proportionally to any potential threat against its soil by the US or the Zionist regime (Israel).

“We do not possess a nuclear weapon and we will never build one, but we will defend ourselves against any aggression, whether by the US or the Zionist regime, proportionally,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
