Iran to deploy more powerful missiles, says deputy defense minister

Iran’s armed forces would increasingly deploy upgraded weapons, including more powerful ballistic missiles as the war with the US and Israel continues, said the deputy defense minister on Saturday.

“The further we go, the more upgraded weapons will be used in various domains, especially ballistic missiles and other types of missiles with greater destructive power, higher maneuverability, and more precise targeting,” Reza Talaei-Nik said.

He made the comments at a ceremony for top Supreme Leader adviser Ali Shamkhani, who was killed in US-Israeli airstrikes.
