US President Donald Trump pulled out of an international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program in May and reimposed sanctions on Tehran. “We will continue our missile tests and this recent action was an important test,” Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards’ airspace division, said, as quoted by Fars News. He added: “The reaction of the Americans shows that this test was very important for them and that’s why they were shouting.”Iran carries out up to 50 missile tests a year, Hajizadeh said. The Iranian government has ruled out negotiations with Washington over its military capabilities, particularly its missile program run by the Guards. It says its missile program is purely defensive and denies its missiles are capable of being tipped with nuclear warheads.
