Qasemi said that Iran's defense capabilities, including missile tests, can never be subject to any negotiation,
"Iran's missile tests are conducted within the framework of the country's defense policies, and Iran's defense capabilities would by no means be negotiated or compromised on," Qasemi was quoted as saying.
His comments came in reaction to a recent statement by the Council of the European Union, which expressed "concern with the regional military build-up, including Iran's missile program."
