Tehran, YJC. IRGC aerospace has corrected a recent misrepresentation of the head of the army branch by asserting that its missiles have a maximum range of 2,000 and not 12,000 kilometers.
As a faulty representation
of a statement by the commander of the Aerospace Forces of the IRGC stirred
quite a lot of talk in the press, the office of public relations of the
Aerospace in a statement announced that some media have mistakenly used the
phrase ‘air equipment with 12,000 km range’ while quoting the commander of the
IRGC Aerospace forces. The correct words go "Brigadier General Hajizadeh
pointing to the IRGC Aerospace force’s abilities said ‘The range of our
long-range missiles is currently 2,000 kilometers and the reason for that is that
our enemies are in the vicinity and, let me say it more conveniently, it is not
worth it to spend on more expensive weapons for them.’”
The public relations office
of the IRGC Aerospace has asked the media to publish the correction.
