Iran Warns France Not to Interfere in Internal Affairs

Iranian Supreme Leader's top adviser for international affairs Ali Akbar Velayati underlined that French President Emmanuel Macron's interference in Iran's domestic affairs does not serve that country's national interests.

"It is not in the interest of France and (French President) Mr. Macron to interfere in issues of sensitivity to Iran, like missiles and strategic affairs of Iran,” Velayati said in an interview with Iran's state-run television on Friday.

"As an Iranian who is familiar with French issues and the foreign policies of this country I advise the French president to take the path of General de Gaulle the Former President of France in his foreign policy and act relatively independent,” Leader's top advisor advised Macron.

Velayati reiterated that Iran will never ask for permission from others concerning its defensive issues or what range of kilometers should the country's missiles should be.

“It’s Mr. Macron’s no business and he has no right to interfere in this issue,” underlined Mr. Velayati, “If he wants to have growing relations between Iran and France, he should abstain from meddling in these issues because it is against the interests of France.”

“Mr. Macron! Take heed to my advice; there is not even a 1% chance to get us negotiate over our internal affairs,” he referred to Macron’s anti-Iran speech in Sweden.

In relevant remarks last Monday, Iran once again rejected any kind of talks with foreign parties over its missile program and defense power.

"We have announced and repeated many times that we will not hold talks with any country or person on Iran's missile and defense issues," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi told reporters in Tehran.

Stressing that Iran is entitled to strengthen its defense program given the regional conditions, he said instead of Iran, other countries which sell expensive and advanced weapons to the regional states that can foment insecurity and tensions should account for their deeds.

"They will see the destructive impacts of their wrong policies," Qassemi said.

In relevant comments in October, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani underlined that his country will powerfully continue production of different weapons and missiles to defend itself.

"We will not doubt about building, stockpiling and using any type of weapons that we need to defend ourselves and our nation when necessary," President Rouhani said, addressing the Iranian parliament in Tehran.

"We have produced missiles, are producing them and will continue their production and it is not a violation of any international law," he added.

Stressing that Iran will continue defending its national security, President Rouhani warned the other parties to the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran, specially the US, that violation of the agreement will harm themselves and Iran will give them a decisive response.

He blasted the US blatant violation of the 2015 nuclear deal, and said when Washington has not remained committed to its undertakings based on the internationally-accepted agreement, it cannot call on certain East Asian nations (North Korea) to sit to the negotiating table.

"Are these countries crazy to negotiate with you?" President Rouhani asked.
