Iran Tightens Security around Nuclear Facilities

Iranian Air Defense Commander Ahmad Miqani said that, since September 2008, the Iranian Air Defense branch has been operating as a separate unit (independent of the air force), alongside the ground, air and naval branches of the armed forces.

The purpose of this, he said, is to tighten security around Iran's nuclear facilities.

He added that all missile, radar and intelligence-gathering units will operate under the new branch, and stated that Iran was upgrading its Hawk missiles.
