Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Tuesday that Iran’s ballistic missile program was explicitly excluded from a recent 14-point agreement with the United States. The announcement, made in Islamabad, clarifies the scope of the deal reached between the two nations. Pezeshkian’s comments indicate Iran intends to maintain independent control over its missile development, despite ongoing negotiations with Washington. Details of the 14-point memorandum remain limited, but the President’s statement underscores a key Iranian position. This separation suggests a focused agreement on other areas of contention, potentially including nuclear activity or regional security. The clarification aims to dispel any ambiguity regarding Iran’s strategic capabilities and its commitment to continuing the missile program. This development could impact future talks and international perceptions of Iran’s foreign policy.
