With Trump Presidency Looming, Iranian Officials Vow to Accelerate Nuclear Propulsion, Ballistic Missile Programs per Algemeiner.com

'Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced on Monday that he had fulfilled his pledge to replace the country's centrifuges with the most advanced and modern ones – and that the plan to make a nuclear propulsion system operative is underway, the regime-aligned news agency Tasnimreported.

Rouhani's declaration – made during a ceremony in Tehran to unveil Iran's Charter on Citizens' Rights — came a day after the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force boasted to a gathering of academics about the quality and quantity of Iran's ballistic missile capabilities, according to the semi-official state news agency Fars.

"We will not stop enhancement of our capability, knowledge and production in defense fields, specially the missile industry," Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh reportedly told the audience in Tehran on Sunday.'
