Earlier in the day, the Reuters news agency reported, citing Iranian and Western officials, that Iran was ready to discuss its ballistic missile program with six international mediators, which are signatories of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iranian nuclear deal.
"Iran has stressed during all diplomatic meetings with foreign officials… that the defense ballistic missile program is not negotiable and does not contradict the 2231 UN Security Council's resolution," Qassemi said.
2231 UNSC resolution adopted in 2015 is basically endorsing the the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (commonly referred to as Iran Nuclear Deal), signed earlier in the year by Iran, the European Union and the so-called P5+1 group of nations after years of diplomatic work, which gradually lifted nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Tehran in exchange for assurances that its nuclear program would remain peaceful.
