IFP- A top Iranian military commander has conditioned talks over Tehran�s missile program on the destruction of the West�s nuclear and long-range arms.

Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri, a senior spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces, says the dismantling of the US and the West�s atomic arms and long-range missiles is the prerequisite for negotiations on Iran�s missiles.

According to a Farsi report by Fars News, he said the Americans are saying, out of desperation, that a cap should be put on Iran�s missile capability, but such a word �is their unattainable goal and emanates from their failures and defeats in the region.�
