TEHRAN, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Army dispatched more air defense missile system to the western borders of the country to counter any offense, Army's air defense headquarters announced on Tuesday.

The Army's air defense has increased preparedness for "decisive response" to any act of aggression in western areas, Lieutenant Commander of Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base, General Alireza Elhami, said on Tuesday.

The move by the Iranian army follows the new developments in the western borders of Iran after the Iraqi Kurdistan held the independence referendum on Monday.

Iran has announced its discontent with the independence vote and has voiced its support for the integrity of Iraq.
