Iran, G5+1 N. agreement not about missile issues, says Larijani

TEHRAN (ISNA)- The recent nuclear agreement between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany does not include missile-related issues, said Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.

Missile issue has not been mentioned in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA), but it has been mentioned in Resolution 2231 which are totally different issues, he told ISNA.

The resolution has discussed different matters about missile arms and we do not listen to it and we do not agree with it. We will keep our missile moves.

Arms embargo includes two sections of purchase and sale, and We neither agree with purchasing weapons and nor seek sales of them and westerners are aware of the issue.

In mid-July, Iran and the the G5+1 group of countries - the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany - agreed upon a comprehensive text, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in Vienna, under which Iran would curtail its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of sanctions imposed on it.

Many hailed the conclusion of the negotiations as a historic achievement for advocates of diplomacy; however, the hawkish Israeli premier insisted it was a historic mistake. Netanyahu has even warned that the Tel Aviv regime will not be bound by the JCPOA, which has been turned into a binding resolution by the United Nations Security Council.

For over a decade, the Israeli regime has been propagating the unsubstantiated claim that Iran is pursuing military objectives in its nuclear program. Iran has dismissed the allegations as baseless, saying its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes and it would not have sought atomic bombs even without the JCPOA.

Above all, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has issued a religious decree forbidding the construction and use of nuclear weapons.
