'Iran is not concerned about U.S. missile plan'

An Iranian commander says the US plan for installing a missile system in the Persian Gulf region does not worry Iran as it has already taken the necessary preemptive measures to counter it.

“The Americans have for a long time harbored plans to provide a missile defense [system] for the Zionist regime [of Israel],” Commander of the Aerospace Division of Iran's Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh said Monday.

He said while Iran is not concerned about the plan, it regrets that the financial resources of the regional countries should be funneled toward providing for the security of Israel. “The US and Israel seek to establish security for Tel-Aviv with funds from Arab countries,” Hajizadeh said.
