Iran refuses to negotiate on missile program

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson has firmly rejected the idea of negotiating over the country's defensive capabilities, including its missile program. The statement came in response to a question about potential concessions during upcoming talks in Pakistan. The spokesperson described the suggestion as strange and emphasized that Iran's defense capabilities are a red line. This stance reinforces Iran's hardline position as diplomatic efforts, mediated by Pakistan, continue under the shadow of a U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
