TEHRAN – Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has rejected British Foreign Secretary William Hague’s claim about Iran’s missile capabilities, saying Iranian missiles are not capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

“None of the missiles tested by Iran is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead,” Mehmanparast told Reuters.
According to Reuters, Britain accused Iran on Wednesday of carrying out covert tests of a missile that could carry a nuclear warhead, in violation of a UN resolution.
“Iran has ... been carrying out covert ballistic missile tests and rocket launches, including testing missiles capable of delivering a nuclear payload in contravention of UN resolution 1929,” Hague told the British parliament.
Resolution 1929, passed by the UN Security Council a year ago, tightened sanctions against Iran imposed over its nuclear program, which Western countries claim is aimed at building a weapon. Tehran insists that the program is meant only for peaceful purposes.
On June 28, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps test-fired 14 missiles during the second day of the first stage of Great Prophet 6 war game.
The longest range missiles that Iran test-fired are Shahab missiles which are capable of hitting targets within a range of 2000 kilometers.
