Iran holds missile drills amid rising tensions, as Israel watches for signs of imminent attack – Tehran says missiles are for deterrence and not open to negotiation, while reports suggest missile production could reach 3,000 annually; Israeli and US officials warn drills may mask preparations for surprise strike or military escalation | ynetglobal
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman on Monday insisted Tehran’s expanding ballistic missile production is strictly for “self‑defense and deterrence,” rejecting any negotiations to curb the program amid rising tensions with Israel.
Spokesman Esmail Baghaei said at a news conference in Tehran that Iran’s missiles are meant to protect the country from attack and would not be subject to diplomatic talks. “Iran’s defensive capabilities, designed to deter any aggressor from considering an attack on the country, are not up for discussion,” he said.
