Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has stressed the strengthening of Iran\u2019s defense capabilities in the face of enemy threats.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with eulogists on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad\u2019s daughter Hazrat Fatemeh Zahra (PBUH) on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei noted that Iran needs to have boosted its defensive military capabilities in order to strengthen its position in potential negotiations.<\/p>\n

“If the Islamic establishment seeks technology and negotiations but does not have defensive power, it will have to back down in the face of any petty country that threatens [it],\u201d the Leader said, wrote Presstv.<\/p>\n

“That they say the future of the world is one of negotiation and not one of missiles… if that is said out of ignorance, well it is ignorance, but if it\u2019s said knowingly, it is treason,\u201d Ayatollah Khamenei said.<\/p>\n

“The Islamic Republic must use all tools,\u201d the Leader said, adding, \u201cI am not opposed to political dialog, not with everyone of course. I am fine with political dialog on the level of global issues. These are times of both missiles and negotiations”.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei\u2019s remarks come as the United States and some of their European allies are seeking a meeting at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Iran\u2019s recent missile tests, which they claim were carried out in defiance of a UNSC resolution.<\/p>\n

In a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Spain\u2019s UN Ambassador Roman Oyarzun Marchesi, the US, Britain, France, and Germany have reportedly called for discussions on an \u201cappropriate response\u201d by the UNSC to Iran\u2019s missile tests.<\/p>\n

In their joint letter, the four countries claimed that the missiles used in Iran\u2019s recent tests were \u201cinherently capable of delivering nuclear weapons\u201d and were \u201cinconsistent with\u201d and \u201cin defiance of\u201d UNSC Resolution 2231 adopted last July to endorse a nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries.<\/p>\n

Resolution 2231, which endorses the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) \u2014 the Iran-P5+1 agreement \u2014 provides for the termination of the provisions of previous Security Council resolutions over the Iranian nuclear program.<\/p>\n

On March 9, Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) successfully test-fired two ballistic missiles as part of measures to assess IRGC capabilities. The missiles, dubbed Qadr-H and Qadr-F, were fired during large-scale drills code-named Eqtedar-e-Velayat. Iran fired another ballistic missile dubbed Qiam from silo-based launchers in different locations across the country on March 8.<\/p>\n

Iran argues its missiles are defensive and designed to carry conventional explosives only. The US, Britain, France, and Germany were, along with China and Russia, members of the P5+1, which reached the nuclear deal with Iran after some 22 months of negotiations. Iran and the six other countries started implementing the deal on January 16. \u00a0\/ Iran Daily \/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
