The Islamic Republic underlined that it will not stop its missile program amid a new round of sanctions imposed by US on Iranian and Chinese figures for supporting Iran's ballistic missile program.
Iran’s foreign ministry issued a statement saying that the country will continue its missile program in line with its “inalienable and legal right” to upgrade the country’s defensive capabilities, the ministry’s spokesman Bahram Ghasemi wrote on his Telegram channel May 18.
US President Donald Trump on May 17 extended wide sanctions relief for Iran called for under the 2015 international nuclear deal.
Trump imposed narrow penalties on Iranian and Chinese people and companies regarding the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile program.
