      <title>Iran says missile and drone programmes are non-negotiable</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330461888/iran-says-missile-and-drone-programmes-are-non-negotiable</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iran’s acting defence minister has said the country’s missile and drone capabilities constitute a “red line” for national security and will not be subject to any negotiations.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a post on social media on Wednesday, Brigadier General Majid Ebnolreza said he had briefed members of parliament’s Economic Commission on Iran’s military achievements during the 40-day US-Israeli attacks on the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the meeting, Ebnolreza stressed that Iran’s missile and drone programmes were non-negotiable and remained a core component of the country’s defence strategy, IRNA says in a report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He added that Tehran would continue to strengthen and expand its missile and drone capabilities by relying on domestic expertise and indigenous capacities.&lt;/p&gt;
