Armed Forces Spokesman Dismisses Talks on Iran's Missile Power

TEHRAN (FNA)- Deputy Chief of Staff and Spokesman of Iran's Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri said talks with foreign states on Iran's missile program will be impossible.

"Any demand for negotiations on the Islamic Republic of Iran's missile power is basically rejected," General Jazzayeri said on Saturday.

"The high defense power of our country as the main component of deterrence against enemies of Islamic Revolution will always move in the direction of growth and enhancement," he said, adding that all officials in Iran stand united on the necessity for increasing the country's defense power.

"We advise all those who speak about the Islamic Republic of Iran not to bother to enter our defense and missile fields," General Jazzayeri said.

In relevant remarks in October, General Jazzayeri warned European states to avoid meddling with his country's missile program and presence in the region.

"As the Islamic Republic of Iran has stated before, it does not accept to negotiate over its missile issues," General Jazzayeri said.

"We, as the Armed Forces, are against any talks with the foreign sides on this issue," he added.

The General said there is no convention or agreement on missile production and development, and added, "Therefore, we strictly advise and notify all sides to stay away from this issue."

He also dismissed the US and certain European states' demands for talks on the regional issues, specially Syria, and said such demands are "illegal" and "illegitimate".
