Defensive power Iran’s redline: Rouhani’s chief of staff
Tehran (KNA) - President Hassan Rouhani’s chief of staff asserts that Iran’s defensive power is non-negotiable, reacting to misinterpretation of earlier remarks made by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
"The country's defensive might is a redline. We will not be holding negotiations in this area under any circumstances, and have said so on repeated occasions," Mahmoud Va'ezi said on Wednesday.
Speaking to NBC News on Monday, Zarif had condemned the United States' arms sales to regional countries, saying the sales had made "our region ready to explode." "So if they (the US) want to talk about our missiles, they need first to stop selling all these weapons, including missiles, to our region," he added.
