The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has described as strange the recent comments made by Germany and the UN chief on Iran's missile program. Ali Akbar Salehi thinks a conspiracy is taking shape.
Salehi says Iran does not intend to violate the nuclear deal under any circumstances. He argues the coincidence of the comments against Tehran’s missile program could be a clue to an incipient conspiracy against the country. German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday claimed that missile launches by Iran earlier this year were inconsistent with a UN resolution. United Nations Chief Ban Ki-moon also said the missile tests were not in the spirit of the landmark deal between Iran and the P5+1. Iran's foreign ministry has reiterated that the country’s missile tests are purely peaceful. A spokesman for the ministry said Tehran will press ahead with its ballistic missile program despite such remarks.
