Iran’s deputy defense minister, Mohammad Eslami told the semi-official News agency about the new missile. Named Ya-Ali, the 700km missile is a step up from the previous model that Iran’s Mirage fighter jets were equipped.

Iran has never accepted its Missile program to be a subject of current nuclear negotiations and Obama administration gave in to keep Iran on the table. Few days ago, Massoud Jazayeri, regime’s armed forces deputy chief of staff cleared,

“We don’t allow the U.S. and others to interfere with regard to Iranian defense policy. Gone are the days when the U.S. was a superpower, but some still haven’t realized it. Iran’s missile programs and defense capability, irrespective of their purpose, are not negotiable in any foreign circle.”

He even went further threatening other sides,

“The Islamic republic would use its defense capability against “bullying” powers (a term the regime uses to characterize the United States) whenever it chooses to do so. Jazayeri said that if Washington “oversteps” red lines, it will need to be worried about Iranian missiles, the state-controlled Press TV reported.”
