The announcement came in response to a statement by some Iranian lawmakers, requesting that the Armed Forces resume conducting missile tests.
In their statement, the MPs had called for the resumption of missile tests in reaction to the US officials’ brazen rhetoric of war against Iran.
Thanking the Iranian lawmakers for their concerns, Major General Firouzabadi gave an assurance that missile tests will be performed at the appropriate time according to plans endorsed by the Supreme Leader.
While Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) could finalize the text of a lasting deal on Tehran's nuclear program on July 14, US officials have not stopped making provocative comments about military action against Iran.
Back in May, Ayatollah Khamenei reaffirmed that the Iranian nation will not let any possible act of aggression against the country go unanswered.
The Leader said he has already made it clear, even in the tenure of former US president, that "the era of hit and run has ended", and that the Iranian nation will chase aggressors.
