DUBAI (Reuters) - 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.
Defence Minister Hossein Dehqan said Iran would boost its missile program and had never agreed to restrictions on it.
"Iran's missile capabilities have never been the subject of negotiations with the Americans and will never be," he was quoted as saying by Press TV, an Iranian state channel.
The defiant comments are a challenge for the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama as the United States and European Union plan to dismantle nearly all international sanctions against Iran under the breakthrough nuclear agreement reached in July.

And Obama didn’t know about this before he told Iran they can build nukes?
I guess he heard about this for the first time on Fox.
challenge implies resistance.
Iran can do what they want unimpeded.
Iran knows it is fighting a whimp. They will get everything they want. )bama is a muslim schill.
Defiant Iran pledges to ramp up missile program, with full agreement of Obama.
In {airquote} Defiance {/airquote} wink wink, nod nod
Obama will retaliate by getting in 18 holes.
Maybe Iran stores the nuclear weapons they have already produced inside one of their mountains.
Good. I propose that the mullahs test out their ICBMs and nuclear warheads on Washington DC.
The political class has been pushing in favor of Iran for over 10 years for the sake of its funding for civilian salaries and cheap oil.
When the nuke exchange starts, political folks in the cities will have about 15 minutes to get to their rural places—not the half hour that they would have had in the ‘60s. The enemy would most likely launch during business hours for effect. When the time comes, they should make sure that they can get at least 30 miles in 15 minutes.
Wow, who saw this coming? Oh yeah, everyone but Obama and that f#ckface Kerry.
Be sure to act surprised and talk “tough”, Obama.
There are still some fools left in America, amazingly, that believe every word you say.
