Iran’s Foreign Ministry has reiterated that its missile program is purely defensive and not open for negotiation, dismissing external criticism over its growing arsenal. Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated at a weekly press briefing that the program was designed solely to deter attacks and protect Iran’s territorial integrity.
The statement follows heightened Israeli alarm after the June 12-day conflict, during which Israel labeled Iran’s ballistic and nuclear programs as major threats. Tehran retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israeli cities following what it described as unprecedented Israeli assaults that killed over 1,000 people in Iran. Israel, in turn, reported more than 50 Iranian missile strikes that left 28 dead.
According to NBC, Iran is now rebuilding and expanding its missile production capacity, prompting fears that Israel could launch preemptive strikes to disrupt these efforts. The United States briefly joined Israel in targeting Iranian nuclear facilities before a ceasefire was declared, underscoring the fragile regional balance and the potential for renewed escalation.
