Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks regarding Iran’s missile program, stating, “Our missiles are not subject to negotiation and will not be.”
Araghchi strongly criticized President Trump’s comments on Iran’s ballistic missile program, emphasizing that Iran’s missiles cannot be placed on the negotiation agenda.
According to Iranian state television, Araghchi made the remarks to journalists during a rally held in Tehran marking the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
Referring to the ongoing talks with the United States, Araghchi said, “No one can make even the slightest intervention regarding Iran’s missiles. Our missiles are not subject to negotiation and will not be.” Responding to a question about the next round of planned talks with the U.S., he added that the date and venue have not yet been determined.
Speaking yesterday, U.S. President Donald Trump said that any potential agreement with Iran should not be limited solely to the nuclear program and that the ballistic missile program should also be included within the scope of a deal.
