TEHRAN, January 7- IRGC’s Commander-in-Chief said the missiles fired to Saudi Arabia were Yemen-made ones reconstructed and their range increased.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Jafari in an interview with YJC said “the Americans and their puppet rulers in the region have already told many lies about Islamic Republic of Iran and accused Iran of numerous charges”. 

The commander expressed his surprise of US and Saudi officials’ meddling claims about Iran’s sending weapons to Yemen and said how one could sent missiles to a fully blockaded country to which sending food and drug is impossible.

“It is absolutely impossible for Islamic Republic of Iran to send missile to Yemen and the US officials does know that the missiles fired are Yemen-made reconstructed ones the range of which increased” the stressed.

Speaking at a press conference at a military base in Washington, Haley had presented what she claimed to be "undeniable" evidence, including the allegedly recovered pieces of the missile, saying it proved that Iran was violating international law by giving missiles to the Houthis.

"It was made in Iran then sent to Houthi militants in Yemen," she added.

However, a panel appointed by the United Nations Security Council said that it had seen no evidence to support Saudi Arabia’s claims that missiles had been transferred to Yemen’s Houthi fighters by external sources.
