Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri dismissed America as a “meddlesome” former superpower.
Press TV reported:
A senior Iranian commander has dismissed as “meddlesome” the recent US claims that Tehran’s defense might would be part of the nuclear talks with six world powers, saying Iran’s missile capability is non-negotiable.
“Iran’s missile programs and defense capability, irrespective of their purpose, are not negotiable in any foreign circle,” Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said on Wednesday.
“We don’t allow the US and others to interfere in the country’s defense affairs,” he added.
The commander underlined that Iran will use its defense might against bullying powers whenever it deems necessary.
He said Iran’s military might serves to defend the nations, adding that if the US oversteps the red lines, then it will have to be worried about Iran’s missiles.
“Gone are the days when the US was a superpower, but some still haven’t realized it,” he said.
