Rouhani highlighted the peaceful nature of the country’s defense program, saying Iran has no intention to invade other countries or harm their interests.

Iran, the president added, wants cordial and brotherly relations with its neighbors.
He emphasized Iran’s right to develop the national deterrence power, stressing that the country will not wait for any permission to produce the defensive weapons it needs.

The Iranian chief executive also warned the Western States against flooding the region with their weapons while plundering the resources of its nations.
