Al Jazeera: Iran's Guards: 'enemies' trying to sabotage missiles

Iran's Revolutionary Guards say foes tried to 'sabotage' missiles to make them 'explode in mid-air' but say plot failed.

The Revolutionary Guards on Sunday accused "enemies" of Iran of trying to sabotage the country's missiles so that they would "explode midair" but said the bid was foiled.

"They tried as best as they could to sabotage a small part which we import so that our missiles would not reach their target and explode midair," Fars news agency reported, quoting the Guards' aerospace commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh.

"But they couldn't do a damn thing because we had seen this coming from the start and had reinforced this sector," he added, accusing Iran's "enemies" of sabotage without naming any specific country.
