High-profile attendee Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei makes forceful impression against inclusion of IRGC-ASF ballistic missiles into nuclear deal with West.
"They expect us to limit our missile program while they constantly threaten Iran with military action," Khamenei was quoted as telling the IRNA news agency while using a well publicized IRGC-ASF "Exhibition of Achievement" as backdrop.
He added "So this is a doltish expectation ... The revolutionary guards should definitely carry out their program and not be satisfied with the present level. They should mass produce This is a main duty of all military officials."
Below are Iranian media photos of weapon types and military equipment put on display at the IRGC-ASF "Exhibition of Achievement," including Iranian renderings of the captured American RQ-170 Sentinel UAV:

- Hormuz 2 anti-ship ballistic missile
