The Chinese paper, referring to development of an indigenous fighter jet recently unveiled in Iran, wrote “The US has sold hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons to Iran’s regional rivals, but has demanded that Tehran curb its defense programs, and is in the process of reimposing crippling sanctions in a bid to force it to comply.”
The South China Morning Post also quoted remarks by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani made during the unveiling ceremony that “Iran’s defense program is aimed at deterrence vis-à-vis the United States.”
“The enemy should see how expensive an invasion of Iran would be,” the Chinese media quoted Iran's president as saying.
“Why does not the US wage a military attack on us? Because of our power,” Rouhani was quoted as saying.
