TEHRAN, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry announced Monday that it has not negotiated on its missile program with the European countries.

The Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi said that Iran's positions on its missile program and regional policies are clear and it would not negotiate over its defensive policies, Press TV reported.

Regarding the reports that Europe aims to increase pressure on Iran, Qasemi said the Islamic Republic has not officially heard from European authorities on such a matter.

"We have heard nothing from European officials about that, and in the negotiations that we have had with Europe, no such issue has been raised," he said.

The Financial Times, German weekly Der Spiegel and French daily Le Figaro have recently suggested that Europe is eying to pressure Iran over its missile program.

Last Wednesday, Qasemi denied that Tehran agreed to negotiate over its missile program.

He called the reports "unfounded" and said his country's "policy and stance concerning its defensive missile program are completely clear and transparent, and that other countries are well aware of that position."

According to the foreign reports, the Europeans have stepped up pressure on Iran over such issues as they struggle to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's latest threat that he would pull Washington out of the nuclear deal if some "disastrous flaws" were not fixed.
