Iran’s president-elect ruled out future negotiations with the United States over his government’s conventional ballistic missile program and support for Shiite militias across the Middle East.
Ebrahim Raisi, who was elected to the presidency in Friday's national elections, called the ballistic missile program and militia support “non-negotiable" and urged the United States to return to the 2015 nuclear agreement.
