Zarif says Iran’s missiles not designed for nukes
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, referring to the US pouring arms for killing Yemeni people, said Iran’s missileds are not designed for nukes.
“The US—which violated UNSCR 2231 in withdrawing from JCPOA—or its allies (in violation of its provision on normalizing economic relations w/Iran) are in no position to push a conceited interpretation of its missile provision while pouring weapons into hands that kill Yemenis, “ Zarif wrote in his Twitter account.
He added: “Contrary to @SecPompeo's claim,
a. UNSC 2231: "Iran is CALLED UPON" not prohibited;
b. "not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles DESIGNED to be capable of delivering NUCLEAR weapons.” Our missiles are not “designed" for nukes, which we’re not developing.”
Earlier Zarif in a message called for the evil cycle that are perpetrating war crimes in Yemen.
"Western publics & legislatures demand an end to humanitarian disaster that is the Saudi-Emirati war on Yemen. But their governments provide ever more weapons used to perpetrate war crimes. Time & again our offers of political way out have been rebuffed. This evil cycle must stop," he said.
Meanwhile earlier, Iranian Ambassador to London said Iran missile program is not the only one in the region, adding that the US, Israel and their allies' concerns is are due to Iran's high deterrent power.
