Tehran, Oct 17, IRNA - Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani said Iranian officials and the bodies responsible for implementation of the nuclear deal will exercise utmost prudence.

He made the remarks speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the preliminary meeting to International (Munich) Security Conference held at the Foreign Ministry's Institute for Political and International Studies in Tehran on Saturday.

'We hope that through Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the fabricated file of Past Military Dimension (PMD) will be closed,' he added.

'It will be the gateway to Iran's taking next steps and will demonstrate the level of sincerity in the settlement of the problems which were created unjustly by others,' Shamkhani said.

To a question on the US threat to take Iran's recent ballistic missile test to the UN Security Council, the SNSC secretary said the Islamic Republic will never compromise its defensive and deterrent power.

He also downplayed certain media reports claiming Iran has sent troops to Syria, saying such allegations mushroom when terrorists suffer defeat in the battlefronts.
