Iranian Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi says regional intelligence services are involved in plotting and implementing a wave of terrorist attacks in Iran.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi has condemned the Thursday terrorist attack in the southeastern port city of Chabahar, saying the terrorists are supported by certain notorious centres in the region.

An Iranian official says the recent terrorist attack in the port city of Chabahar in southeastern Iran was plotted by the enemies of Iran which seek to hamper foreign investment in Iran’s Makran coasts.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the Islamic Republic will punish the foreign-backed perpetrators of a terrorist attack on the south-eastern Iranian city of Chabahar, which killed and wounded several people on Thursday.

A car bomb explosion in front of a police headquarters in the port city of Chabahar in southeast of Iran has killed a conscript and an officer, and wounded several others.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the US officials have confessed that neither the Iran nuclear deal nor the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 ban Iran from testing its missiles.

Iran’s diplomatic mission in the United Nations rejected as baseless US claims that the Islamic Republic’s missile program is not in conformity with the UN Security Council Resolution 2231, saying such claims are in line with Washington’s “deceptive and hostile policy”.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi has rejected the “groundless” concerns raised by certain Western countries about Iran’s missile program, saying the country has no plan to have missiles that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

The senior spokesman of the Iranian Armed Forces says the country will continue to test and develop its missiles in line with its deterrence policy despite adversarial positions taken on this issue by US officials.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi has rejected US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s recent claim that Tehran’s missile tests contravene UN Security Council Resolution 2231, saying the country’s missile program is just for defence.
