Tehran, Aug 31, IRNA – Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan announced that Iran does not desist supporting the resistance movements.

According to the Arabic-language al-Mayadeen news network, Dehqan said Iran has transparently announced that it will continue its financial and spiritual support for resistance movements which want to resist against the US and Zionist regime's policies.

The news network referred to resistance movements as Hamas, Hezbollah and Jihad according to Dehqan's remarks.

Talking of Iran's equipment, Dehqan said the country constructs and develops ballistic missiles regarding the threats that may deal with.

No nation in the world exchanges its security, stressed the Iranian minister.

We cannot witness the enemy which is modernizing its equipment day by day, said he, adding Iran recognizes no restrictions regarding the ballistic issue.

'We have not built any missile capable of carrying nuclear warhead,' he said while rejecting the announcements on the issue.

Dehghan added Iran respects its nuclear commitments, while warning unfaithfulness from the other side.

Turning to the issue of S-300 missiles, he said Iran is to receive such missiles from Russia by the end of Iranian calendar year which started on March 21, 2015.
