Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s army chief of staff says that the US military aid package to Israel only strengthens Tehran’s resolve to beef up its own military.
“The criminal (US) move to sign an agreement to present a supportive military package to the Zionist regime is a desperate attempt to protect the security vacuum of the regime and makes us more determined to increase our military power,” General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri is quoted by Fars news saying.
He says Iran will continue to develop new “defense systems,” including ballistic missiles that have been the subject of international condemnation.
