Iran’s new defense minister said Saturday the priority was to boost the
country’s missile program and export weapons to shore up neighboring
allies.
"In combat fields, especially in missiles, we have a specific
plan to boost Iran’s missile power,” said General Amir Hatami, who was
appointed defense minister earlier this month, in a speech carried by
the ISNA news agency.
"God willing, the combat capabilities of Iran’s ballistic and cruise missiles will increase in this term,” he added.
Hatami also said Iran would look to export weapons "to prevent war and conflict.”
"Wherever
a country becomes weak, others become encouraged to raid it... Wherever
necessary, we will export weapons to increase the security of the
region and countries, to prevent wars,” he said.
