TEHRAN – The chief of staff of the armed forces has said Iran is one of the world’s major missile powers, noting the hegemonic powers cannot confront the Islamic Republic.

Major General Mohammad Baqeri on Monday highlighted the weakness of domineering powers in the face of Iran and said they are not capable of confronting the country, the YJC reported.

He added Iran is in permanent competition with domineering powers in various areas, including the missile field.

The remarks by the top general came one day after Iran fired six medium-range missiles at ISIS positions in Syria.
