Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that he will meet with European sides on Saturday, stressing that Iran will never agree to hold talks on its missile capability.
Speaking to local Iranian media on Friday, Iran’s top diplomat stated that the Americans have so far called for serious talks with Iran but, he stressed that, Iran will not talk to them as they are an accomplice in the Israeli regime’s ongoing crimes against Iran.
“We have told them as long as the aggression continues, talks will be pointless,” he underscored.

Meanwhile, Araghchi said that he will hold negotiations with the foreign ministers of EU troika including France, Germany and UK tomorrow June 21 since they (Europeans) have requested for bilateral talks.
He added that the talks will focus on Iran nuclear program to find a diplomatic solution to it.
He further said that so far everyone must have realized the power of Iran’s missile, stressing that Iran will by no means agree to hold talks on its missile capability as the missiles are defensive capablity.
He continued to report that the UN Security Council will hold a meeting at the request of Russia, China, Pakistan and Algeria and some other members of the council.
Araghchi emphasized “the United States’ partnership with Israel in this aggression,” saying that “the United States is a partner in the Israeli aggression against Iran, even if it does not participate publicly.” He noted that “the fierce resistance shown by the Iranian armed forces gradually reveals that the idea of the Iranian nation’s surrender is out of the question.
” On the other hand, Araghchi said that “Iran never targets civilian areas, especially hospitals, unlike Israel, which targeted hospitals in Gaza.”
