"Iran's missile
capability and its missile program will become stronger. We do
not pay attention and do not implement resolutions against Iran,
and this is not a violation of the nuclear deal," Fars quoted
commander-in-chief Ataollah Salehi as saying.
He was referring to Iran's deal with world powers last year to
curb a nuclear program that the West feared, despite Tehran's
denials, was aimed at acquiring atomic weapons.
Despite last month's easing of sanctions against Iran, it
remains in dispute with the United States over its development
and testing of ballistic missiles capable of delivering a
nuclear warhead.
