Unic Press UK: In apparent defiance to the United States clamor for a renegotiation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran successfully test-fired Friday its new ballistic missile, which is, a 2,000 km range missile named Khorramshahr.
Contrary to the belief of the U.S. and its allies, Iran maintains that its missile development and other military pursuit are solely aimed for defense purposes and do not pose existential threat to other countries.
United States President Donald Trump had strong words for Iran, labeling the country a ‘rogue nation’ while addressing the 72nd Annual United Nations General Assembly on 19th September 2017.
“It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that Iran’s government end its pursuit of death and destruction. The Iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose exports are violence, bloodshed and chaos.” (Donald Trump: 19th September 2017)
