Ballistic missiles, Iran's red line: IRGC official

Khorramabad, Lorestan prov, Aug 10, IRNA Ballistic missiles are part of Iran's red lines, Iranian Supreme Leader's representative at the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ali Saeedi said on Monday.

Speaking in a local ceremony, he said that Iran seeks peaceful use of nuclear energy.
The cleric warned that the nuclear issue should not become a source of division in the Iranian society.
Enemies tried to manipulate the nuclear negotiations as a tool to propose demands beyond the nuclear issue, Saeedi said.
He said that Iran has spiritual influence in Yemen, Lebanon, Gaza, Bahrain, Syria and some other parts of the region, adding that Iran's regional influence is part of its strategic depth and Tehran will not negotiate its strategic depth.
Iran's regional power and strategic depth forced the world powers to come to negotiation table, the official noted.
On July 14, Iran and the P5+1 countries finalized the text of the agreement, dubbed the JCPOA, in the Austrian city of Vienna.
Under the JCPOA, limits will be put on Irans nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all economic and financial bans against the Islamic Republic.
The UNSC on July 20 unanimously adopted a draft resolution turning the JCPOA into an international law. All 15 members of the UN body voted for the draft UN resolution in New York, setting the stage for the lifting of the Security Council sanctions against Iran.
