"Iran is unwilling to compromise on its missile capabilities, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader has said, indicating a potential sticking point in negotiations with the United States. Ali Shamkhani made the statement on Wednesday during an event marking the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. The Islamic Republic's missile capabilities are non-negotiable, he was quoted by state media as saying."
"Either we will make a deal, or we will have to do something very tough like last time, Trump told US news site Axios on Tuesday. Trump also floated the idea of sending a second aircraft carrier towards Iran, a menacing signal after the US bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in June. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said Wednesday that his country is ready to prove the peaceful nature of its nuclear program"
Iran says its missile capabilities are non-negotiable and unwilling to compromise on ballistic missiles, creating a potential sticking point with the United States. Mediated talks in Oman last week failed to produce a breakthrough. Iran wants negotiations to focus exclusively on nuclear issues while the United States seeks to also address Iran's ballistic missile programme and regional alliances. Many Iranians, still marked by memories of last June's 12-day war with Israel that killed some 610 people, fear renewed conflict. President Trump gave mixed signals, praising talks while warning of military action and suggesting additional naval deployments. Iran's president said the country is ready to prove its nuclear program is peaceful.
