Iran says will not negotiate missile program
Iran's ballistic missile program will not be discussed in nuclear negotiations with world powers, the deputy foreign minister said in statements published Monday.
The remarks by Abbas Araqchi, who is also Iran's lead negotiator in talks with world powers, came a week before negotiations were to resume on a comprehensive accord over Tehran's nuclear ambitions. "Iran's defense-related issues are not up for negotiations," Araqchi said, according to media reports. (AFP)
