Iran`s president has promised to increase the country`s military power and missile capability, days after the country`s government was condemned by U.
President Donald Trump.
"We will increase our military power as a deterrent.
We will strengthen our missile capabilities," President Hassan Rouhani said on Friday in a speech broadcast on state television.
"We will not seek permission from anyone to defend our country," Rouhani said according to Reuters.
Rouhani made the speech to a parade of the country`s armed forces in the city of Tehran.
The speech has been seen as defiance to President Trump, who criticized Iran`s leadership in a speech to the United Nations earlier this week.
