Tehran expects “hostile behavior from the Zionist regime. We are at the apex of preparedness at all levels,” the Islamic Republic’s top diplomat said.
Iran said on Saturday that although it is prepared to engage in talks about its nuclear ambitions, its missile program is not up for discussion.
“We are ready to talk to address concerns about our nuclear program. We emphasize the peaceful nature of our nuclear program. It is possible to reach a fair agreement, but Washington has set impossible and unacceptable preconditions,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera.
He added, “There will be no negotiations on our missile program. It would be foolish if one hands over his weapons.”
