Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday said that, without its missiles, his country would have ended up “just like Gaza,” insisting that its ballistics program was non-negotiable.
“If the missiles we have for our defense did not exist, Israel and the United States would have ploughed Iran just like Gaza, showing no mercy to either the old or the young,” he said during a visit to Pakistan, a key mediator in talks between Tehran and Washington seeking a permanent end to the Middle East war.
“We will never negotiate with anyone, under any circumstances, ever, about our defensive capabilities,” he added.
