The Iranian spokesman's comment comes after the Iranian Foreign Ministry refuted the claims of Pompeo earlier in the day that the Iranian missile program allegedly violated the UN Security Council's resolutions.
On Saturday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Iran had test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile in violation of the UN Security Council resolution 2231 that bans Iran from undertaking "any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology."
