Iranian Resistance underscores need to impose sanction on clerical regime

Following the clerical regime's test firing yesterday of a medium-range missile, with a range of 800 miles (1,300 km), the National Council of Resistance's representative in the United States said: "Continuing production and stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction by the theocratic regime in Iran reaffirm the need to impose comprehensive arms, trade and diplomatic sanctions on the mullahs' regime as the most serious threat to peace and tranquillity in the region."

The missile tested yesterday, Shahab-3, was built by the clerical regime with North Korean and Chinese assistance and is capable of carrying chemical and nuclear warheads. Last January, the Iranian Resistance revealed precise information about this missile.

The NCR representative added: "The project to obtain weapons of mass destruction, including medium-range missiles, has been on the clerical regime's agenda since Hashemi Rafsanjani's presidency and pursued relentlessly during Mohammad Khatami's tenure. A huge budget has been allocated to this project."
