'Iran to turn tougher sanctions into opportunities'

A top Iranian Army commander has announced the upcoming launch of new air defense systems to boost Iran's aerial defense capabilities.

Tens of radar and missile systems with various ranges have been manufactured and deployed in Iran's defense sector so far and new systems are on their way to join the defense network during the 10-Day Dawn celebrations, which began on February 1 to mark the 33th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili, the commander of the Army's Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base, announced on Wednesday.

Brig. Gen. Esmaili also pointed out that Iran's scientific and technological progresses come in the face of US-led sanctions.

They are imposing tougher sanctions against Iran to impede the country's development, the senior Iranian commander noted. However, the Iranian nation will turn the tougher sanctions into opportunities, he stressed.
