Iran: Larijani: US claim, 'Joke of the Year'
Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani has downplayed US claim that its missile shield is intended to safeguard Europe against Iranian missiles. "It's the joke of the year since Iranian missile cannot reach Europe," IRNA quoted Larijani as saying. "These days, the Americans tell a lot of jokes. Iranian missiles are incapable of reaching Europe and it is very unlikely that they (the Americans) do not know this," Larijani who is also secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council said late Sunday. He reiterated that Europe is Iran's biggest commercial partner and there is not the slightest evidence to support the US claim.
