Good thing the UN put those sanctions in place, huh? | TEHERAN - Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar on Friday dismissed UN sanctions imposed on Iran as ”psychological warfare” and suggested they would not affect Iran’s missile production capability.
The UN Security Council banned Iran from importing or exporting sensitive nuclear materials and technology as well as ballistic missile delivery systems in a move aimed at stopping it from nuclear enrichment activities that can be used in nuclear weapons.
“We see these sanctions as a psychological warfare that will have no effect on the output of Iran’s defence industries,” Najjar said in an interview with state television. “We produce several items of defence industries in various fields. They are all indigenous and need no (assistance from) abroad,” he added.
I bet that's not true, but I also bet they have ways of getting what they need. | Najjar did not specifically refer to missile production, but said anything that the Iranian armed forces needed can be made in the Islamic Republic. |
