The Iranian Defense Council ruled out discussing missile systems at the talks

Iran's missile systems are not subject to negotiation and are a "red line" for Tehran. This was announced on February 13 by Secretary of the Iranian Defense Council Ali Shamkhani.

"Our missile systems are one of our "red lines" and are not subject to discussion in negotiations," RIA Novosti quoted the secretary as saying in an interview with the Qatari TV channel Al—Jazeera.

Shamkhani also said that Iran's military is on high alert. He pointed out that the response to any adventures aimed against Tehran would be powerful. According to the Secretary, the security situation in the region has worsened, so there is a need for special coordination mechanisms.
