Tehran vetoes discussion of its missiles in nuclear talks

Iran’s defense minister said Wednesday that Iran’s missile program has nothing to do with the nuclear negotiations in progress with the six world powers and it has no nuclear dimensions. Iran's missiles are not up for discussion under any circumstances," he told the semiofficial Fars news agency.
