The Iranian caretaker defense minister said the country’s defense, missile, and UAV capabilities are a “red line” of national security that will not be subject to any form of negotiation.

In a post on X, Brigadier General Majid Ebn al-Reza said he has underscored during a meeting with lawmakers the dimensions, achievements, and characteristics of the recent US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.

He emphasized that Iran’s defense, missile, and drone capabilities constitute a red line for national security, stressing that they are “not negotiable now or in the future.”

The general further underlined the necessity of strengthening Iran’s defense, missile, and drone power, adding that these capabilities will continue to be developed based on domestic capacities and indigenous technological potential.
