TEHRAN, Oct. 22 (MNA) – Iranian Government Spokesman said that weapons strategy of the country is based on its defense strategy.

Islamic Republic of Iran has not started any war in recent centuries, so that its weapons strategy is based on defense strategy.

He made the remarks on Thu. and stated that Iran’s arms embargo was lifted based on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The international community recognized the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran and put an end to Trump's false Iranophobia.

No country in the international community followed Trump and the sanctions that were illegal from the beginning were lifted, Rabiei added.

US policy is to turn the region into a weapons depot and to generate revenue for American arms companies, and their interests will always take precedence over human lives, he noted.

After failing to prevent the lifting of Iran's arms embargo, Trump has again made statements about Iran’s weapons program, he said, adding, “But we have fortunately achieved a great deal of self-sufficiency and knowledge in the field of defense.”

The government spokesman added, "If a country asks us for weapons, we have our own conditions, which means that our conditions are moral and responsible, non-provocative and defensive, and we will decide in full compliance with the international framework and rules."
