TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif reiterated that there is no JCPOA in defense domain.
His remarks came as US Secretary of State John Kerry has recently said that the next step in line with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is limiting Iranian defense and missile activities.
"This part of his (Kerry's) remarks were so baseless that US State Department rejected the comments and claimed that such remarks have not been made," Zarif said in a press conference with his Estonian counterpart Marina Kaljurand here in Tehran.
He also said that Kerry is aware that Iranian nuclear issue and capability is not negotiable.
"If US is seeking these issues in practice, it should stop selling its weapons which are used for killing of innocent Yemenis or used by Zionist regime against civilians. US should lessen welling weapons."
He also said that the US is aware that Iranian defense issue is not negotiable and there is no JCPOA in defense field.
The issue of Iranian missile activities is totally different from JCPOA, and the US State Department has officially announced the issue, Zarif said.
