A convoy of missiles were paraded through the Iranian capital of Tehran on Wednesday in a shocking warning to the West.

Missiles were marched down the street and included the alarming S-200 and S-300 air defence missile system, as part of National Army Day.

Following a speech by President Hassan Rouhani, in which he said Iran would not heed to Western pressure, soldiers marched down the streets armed with military weapons.

World War 3: Iran warned "down with USA" during military parade

To Iran and to Russia, I ask what kind of nation wants to be associated with the mass murder?

US President  has threatened to walk away from a nuclear deal with the rogue state and reimpose sanctions by May 12 unless tough new restrictions are imposed on Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.

But tensions between the US and Iran’s ally Syria have increased in recent days after US President Donald Trump launched military strikes on Syria following a chemical attack that left dozens dead.

Mr Trump said: “To Iran and to Russia, I ask what kind of nation wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent men women and children?”

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said last week the US would regret violating the nuclear deal and Iran would respond in “less than a week” if that happened.

Mr Rouhani said: “We will not be the first to violate the accord but they should definitely know that they will regret it if they violate it.

“We are much more prepared than they think, and they will see that if they violate this accord, within a week, less than a week, they will see the result.”

Following the Syrian airstrikes, the President Rouhani said he was not afraid to shout "loud and clear" that Mr Trump, and Emmanuel Macron were "criminals".

He said: “The attack carried out on Syria overnight at dawn is a crime.

“I’m announcing it loud and clear. The Presidents of the US and France as well as the British Prime Minister are criminals and have committed a crime.”
