Iran: Our Missiles Cannot Be Destroyed by War or Negotiation

SadaNews - Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh stated that his country's missile power cannot be destroyed by either war or negotiations.

This was said during his talk with Iranian state television on Friday, commenting on Washington's demands for Tehran to end its missile and nuclear programs.

Nasirzadeh mentioned that no one in his country supports negotiating issues related to ballistic missiles.

He added: "Our missile power cannot be destroyed by war or negotiation. And our missile capabilities cannot be eliminated by decisions made by a country like the United States, which has only existed for a few centuries."

The Iranian missile program is one of the most controversial issues internationally regarding Iran's national security system and the country's strategy for asserting regional power.

In June 2025, Israel, with American support, launched a war against Iran that lasted 12 days, to which Tehran responded with missile attacks before the United States announced a ceasefire.
