RP Members like we didn't see something like this coming down the road!
A series of Iranian officials vowed on Friday to expand Tehran's missile capabilities, a challenge to the United States which has threatened to impose new sanctions even as the vast bulk of its measures against Iran are due to be lifted under a nuclear deal.
"As long as the United States supports Israel we will expand our missile capabilities," the Revolutionary Guards' second-in-command, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, was quoted as saying by the Fars news agency.
"We don't have enough space to store our missiles. All our depots and underground facilities are full," he said in Friday Prayers in Tehran.

Good thing Kerry/Obama completed the "deal" with Iran. Do you suppose that the billions freed up will be used to fund this "ramp up"?

Oh my goodness! That is my sarcastic attempt at being shocked that Iran would ever follow 'deal' that the douchebag Kerry and the current administration would come up with. At least we didn't release all those billions of dollars...er, oops.
