“Iran Announces Production of Short-Range Missile. State radio and television say Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi Sunday announced in Tehran that the missile, named Nasr 1 (Victory), can be fired from the ground or ships. Vahidi was quoted by the official IRNA news agency, saying Iran will produce another version of the missile that can be launched from helicopters and submarines. Tehran's ambitious space and military programs have worried Western countries. They have expressed fear the same technology could be used to launch nuclear warheads……......”

I am not sure if the Iranians are building up these announcements, if they just announce them as normal news, or if media in the West tend to use them as a “smoking gun” substitute. I imagine India and Pakistan announce news of missile development as often as Iran, but they are not headline news. I also imagine if Zimbabwe makes a similar announcement it will not be headline news.
I still think most Iranians prefer an announcement that more refined petroleum products like gasoline (benzene) are being produced than missiles.
