Tehran, Nov 12, IRNA -- Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Brigadier General Hossein Salami underlined that the martyred head of the IRGC Missile Research Center General Hassan Tehrani Moqaddam revolutionized the IRGC�s missile systems.�

He pointed to the role played by the late commander and head of the IRGC Missile Research Center, Martyr Major General Tehrani Moqaddam, in the designing and production of high-precision ballistic missiles, and said, �Due to such attempts the precision of Iran�s ballistic missiles has approached (a) zero (margin of error) and our ballistic missiles target moving vessels on the sea and they operate against (enemies?) command and control centers.�


�Martyr Tehrani Moqaddam led us to self-sufficiency in area of ground-to-ground missiles and his ideas resulted in the development of an innovative missile power for Iran,� he added.

In July 2012, Iran?s Persian Gulf missiles displayed their 100 percent precision capability after hitting and destroying the specified targets in the last phase of the Payambar-e Azam 7 (The Great Prophet 7) drills.

?The Persian Gulf missile precisely hit and destroyed the target which was several times smaller than the marine targets which can pose a threat,? Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force said at the end of the last phase of the wargames on July 4, 2012.
