Iranian Protection Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh shrugged off the US supply of the Terminal Excessive Altitude Space Protection (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile defence system to Israel as a part of the “enemy’s psychological warfare.” He made the remarks on Wednesday in an tackle to reporters on the sidelines of a weekly cupboard assembly in Tehran, studies Xinhua, quoting the semi-official Tasnim information company.
“The THAAD is an anti-ballistic missile system. It isn’t a brand new factor and has existed earlier than. We assess such actions as being in step with the enemy’s psychological warfare. There isn’t a explicit drawback in that regard,” he mentioned. America introduced on Sunday that it will ship its THAAD system to Israel with troopers to function it.
The choice comes as Israel has, over the previous few days, threatened to take army motion towards Iran in response to Tehran’s missile strikes on Israel earlier this month. On October 1, Iran fired roughly 180 missiles at Israeli targets.
Tehran described the strikes as retaliation for the assassinations of a number of leaders of the regional resistance teams and Israel’s army actions towards Lebanese and Palestinian armed teams. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran had made a “grave mistake” and vowed retaliation.
