Commander-in-Chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Ahmad Vahidi, says that no threats or sanctions will stop Iran from improving its missile and defence capabilities, state broadcaster Press TV reports.

“The enemy should know that the path of Martyr Hassan Tehrani Moqaddam is the one that cannot be halted by threats or sanctions. This path continues through blood and faith,” he said, referring to one of the key architects of Iran’s ballistic missile programme.
