Top Iran diplomat says talks on ballistic missiles possible

Iran's foreign minister has for the first time suggested his country's ballistic missile program could be on the table for negotiations with the U.S. -- if America stops selling arms to its Gulf allies in the Mideast.

 

Mohammad Javad Zarif's comments came in an NBC News interview that aired Monday night.

 

Iran long has maintained its ballistic missile program, under the control of its Revolutionary Guard, is for defensive purposes only. The 2015 nuclear deal that Tehran struck with world powers did not include its missile program.
