Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called on the country's Revolutionary Guards to mass-produce missiles.

Khamenei added Western expectations for the Islamic Republic to limit its missile programme were 'stupid and idiotic'.

According to news24, the United States and its allies are worried about Iran's missile programme, as they fear the weapons could carry nuclear warheads.

Iran has long denied having any plans to develop atomic weapons.

Khamenei said that the West expects Iran to limit its missile programme while they constantly threaten Iran with military action, which is a stupid, idiotic expectation.

He added that the revolutionary guards should definitely carry out their programme and should mass produce, which is the main duty of all military officials.
