Neither threats nor sanctions from the United States and Iran’s enemies can stop Iran’s missile development programme, said Ahmad Vahidi, commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

He made the remarks in a message marking Iran’s Aerospace Day, published by the Iranian news agency Tasnim.

In the message Vahidi paid tribute to Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, known as the founder of Iran’s ballistic missile programme.

Addressing members of the IRGC Aerospace Force, he said: “Today, in the same spirit, you are building the nation’s strength deep inside mountains and in underground facilities.”

“The enemies must understand that the path shown by martyr Tehrani Moghaddam cannot be stopped by threats or sanctions. This path will keep moving forward through blood and faith,” he added.

Vahidi also paid tribute to former IRGC aerospace commanders Amir Ali Hajizadeh and Mahmoud Bagheri, and urged the force’s members to keep working to strengthen Iran’s military capabilities.
