'Iran ready to export air defense system'

Sun Jan 2, 2011

The commander of a major Iranian air defense base says the facility is mass producing anti-aircraft systems and is ready to export such systems.

“We can meet all our needs in the air defense sector by relying on domestic resources,” Ahmad Miqani, the commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base, told Fars News Agency on Sunday.

“When we [design and] develop weapons, they will be mass produced, and we can export the surplus to other countries if deemed appropriate,” Cmdr. Miqani said.

He further described US threats against Iran as a “31-year-old war of nerves and propaganda campaign.”

“Over the past few years, we have seen that the United States imposing wars on the regional nations on a smaller scale, leaving hundreds of thousands of people killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and [occupied] Palestine,” he said.

“Should the enemy decide to launch an aggression on Iranian soil, it will face our all-out, crushing response, and we will not leave them until they are annihilated,” he underlined.

“So, they will not take such a risk, and their threats are just psychological warfare,” the commander said.

Iran has achieved numerous breakthroughs in the defense sector and reached self-sufficiency in producing various types of military equipment and systems.

In the meantime, Iran has announced time and again that its military might poses no threat, whatsoever, to other countries as Tehran's defense doctrine is based on deterrence only.
