Teheran 'will keep producing missiles'

Iran and IAEA urge commitment to 2015 nuclear accord by all parties

TEHERAN - Iran will continue to produce missiles for its defense and does not consider that a violation of international accords, President Hassan Rouhani has said in a speech broadcast on state television.

Rouhani spoke days after the US House of Representatives voted for new sanctions against Iran's ballistic missile program, part of an effort to clamp down on Teheran without immediately moving to undermine an international nuclear agreement.
