Iran's armed forces spokesman said on Saturday that there can be no talks on the
country's missile programme without the West's destruction of its nuclear
weapons and long-range missiles.
"What Americans say out of desperation with regards to limiting the Islamic
republic of Iran's missile capability is an unattainable dream," Brigadier General
Masoud Jazayeri told the official IRNA news agency.

"The condition for negotiations on Iran's missiles is the destruction of America's
and Europe's nuclear weapons and long-range missiles."
Jazayeri said US criticism of Iran's missile programme was driven by "their
failures and defeats in the region."
US President Donald Trump has threatened to tear up a 2015 nuclear deal
between Iran and world powers unless more is done to curb Iran's missile
programme.
European governments have been scrambling to appease Trump and keep the
deal intact, and have voiced increasing concern over Iran's missile programme.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who is due to visit Iran on
Monday, said last month that its missile programme and involvement in
regional conflicts needed to be addressed if Iran "wants to return to the family
of nations".
Ali Akbar Velayati, foreign policy advisor to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei, criticised Le Drian's position on Saturday, just two days before they
are expected to meet.
"Iran's defence programme is not the concern of other countries such as France,
that they should come and tell us what missiles we can have. Do we tell France
how it should defend itself?" he told the semi-official ISNA news agency.
"If Le Drian's visit is aimed at reinforcing our relations, he would do well to
avoid negative positions," Velayati added.
Why is Russia Building Nuclear Powered Cruise Missiles? The Answer:
“Capacity”
During a March 1 speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin rolled out several
new novel strategic nuclear weapons—some of which might seem outlandish.
Among these weapons are the Status-6 nuclear-powered intercontinental range
torpedo and a new nuclear-powered nuclear-tipped cruise missile. While the
Russians seem to genuinely believe that they need ways to counter the United
States’ missile defense system, there are easier ways to defeat those nascent
defenses. Is there another factor driving Russia’s new developments?
Part of the reason the Kremlin is pursuing these new weapons—apart from
genuine concern about American missile defenses—is the Russian military
industrial complex, which is perpetually in search of new projects. In the case of
these weapons, the Russian defense and nuclear energy industries played a large
role in convincing the Kremlin to proceed—and by some estimates, Russian
industry might have had the dominant role.
“As here in the U.S.—indeed, everywhere—that’s tough to break out,” Olya
Oliker, senior adviser and director of the Russia and Eurasia Program at the
Center for Strategic and International Studies, told The National Interest.
“Everyone always looks to justify their program with whatever the threat is. In
many, if not most cases, they truly believe that their pet program is the right
response to the threat. At the same time, services and individuals have
relationships with defense industry, which also feeds into this dynamic.”
Michael Kofman, a senior research scientist specializing in Russian military
affairs at the Center for Naval Analyses, suggested the almost half the impetus
for new projects such as Status-6 and the nuclear-tipped cruise missile came
from industry. The reasons are simple.
“Keeping capacity alive. Not letting top talent die out,” Kofman told The
National Interest. “That means the feeding defense industry and S&T [science
and technology]. Even if you don’t really have missions.”
Nikolai Sokov, a senior fellow at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation
Studies at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey—a former
Soviet and Russian nuclear arms control negotiator—said that the Russian and
Soviet system before it was complex.
“The defense industry always wants to push new big contracts and always
comes to the military saying, see what we could do, just give us money. It’s the
same here (the entire MD [missile defense] deployment story is a testimony –
the system clearly needs more R&D),” Sokov told The National Interest.
“But then there are checks on that – Congress first of all. Sometimes it does the
job of screening new toys, sometimes it does not, depending on the variety of
reasons (again, with MD it’s political and ideological reasons that made serious
debate on the advisability of MD deployment next to impossible). It’s the same
in Russia, but there the system is more centralized and the government—Putin,
but not just him—are ready to buy into new toys. They have displayed a
propensity to fund a lot of programs, even though these could be judged
unnecessary or too expensive given budget constraints; they’d rather extend
deadlines and keep funding at lower levels than refuse a program.”
The situation in Russia has started to improve somewhat—but there are still
very few checks on the Russian defense industry.
“Now, the MOD [Ministry of Defense] has become better with controlling
costs. They really bargain with the industry, so they are more successful with
keeping costs more reasonable than is the case with the Pentagon—one of the
reasons Russia can do so much with so much less money,” Sokov said. “But the
military itself—services first and foremost—usually find it hard to refuse new
toys. With checks beyond the military weak, you got what you see. One
example is the rail-mobile Barguzin. I was truly surprised when they canceled it
last year – a sign that there are at least some checks in the system.”
But the problem for Russia is the structure of its defense industry.
“The other side of the coin is the nature of the defense industry itself,” Sokov
said. “It’s not just contracts for them, it’s also the fact that the production
capacity largely inherited from the Soviet Union is still highly specialized. Not
as specialized as was the case then, but nonetheless… In the absence of defense
contracts, many enterprises would have to be shut down. Thus, defense
contracts are also a means to keep plants open. This is why Putin’s statement
about the need to increase the share of non-defense production at defense
enterprises to 30 percent is so significant—no one has paid attention, though—
they are still trying to force defense enterprises to diversify and become less
reliant on defense budget money.”
But Russia does have a genuine need not only to reform its defense industry but
also to reequip its forces to replace its Soviet-era hardware. “All this, of course,
is against the background of the genuine need to reform and retool,” Sovkov
said. “Russia does need a completely new army and has started down that path
pretty late – about a decade ago—[former Russian Defense Minister Anatoly]
Serduykov’s reforms, no matter how badly they now talk about him in Russia.
So, there is a genuine need in new weapons. It’s just that, in my view, they are
going overboard. This especially concerns futuristic projects.”
The National Park Service has refused a permit for the March for Our Lives
anti-gun rally at the National Mall in Washington so that part of the space can
be used instead for a student talent show.
Organizers of the March 24 protest are now seeking a permit to use
Pennsylvania Avenue on a route that would take them from the Capitol to
Trump International Hotel, NBC-4 reported.
The massive anti-gun rally, spearheaded by survivors of the Feb. 14 Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, that killed 17
people, is expected to draw 500,000 marchers. It was planned for an 11-block
stretch of the mall, with sound systems, 14 Jumbotrons, 2,000 chairs, 2,000
portable johns and 14 tents, according to the permit application the group filed
Feb. 20. Students and other speakers, musicians and video tributes are planned
for the event.
“March for Our Lives is created by students across the country who will no
longer risk their lives waiting for someone else to take action to stop the
epidemic of mass school shootings that has become all too familiar,” organizers
wrote in the application.
But another application, written by hand, was filed earlier for the space for the
same day. That group sought permission for a “student project” related to
“filming for a talent show,” according to the paperwork. The name of the school
was redacted by the Park Service. The event will require jump ropes, two bikes
and two tables. The project “takes a day to finish. Games will be the main
activity for filming,” according to the application.
National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said permits are granted on a
first-come, first-served system, regardless of what the space is used for.
“By regulation, when there is a conflict of time and location for events,
precedence is established by the order in which the permit application was
received,” Litterst told National Public Radio.
Litterst said the Park Service typically works with organizers of displaced
events to find an alternative space. He suggested West Potomac Park and
Pennsylvania Avenue.
Anti-gun marches are planned for the same day at other locations across the
country, as well as in other countries.
A message on the March for Our LivesFacebook page reads: “On March 24 we
will take to the streets of Washington, DC and our communities across the
country. We will be the last group of students who have to stand up for fallen
children due to senseless gun violence. March with us.”
In a rare Saturday session, Florida's state legislature briefly accepted and then
rejected a measure banning the sale of AR-15 assault rifles — the type of
weapon used in the Feb. 14 shooting at a south Florida high school.
A Saturday voice vote in the state Senate, whose members generally firmly
oppose firearm restrictions, passed an amendment approving a two-year
moratorium on sales of the weapon, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
While the Senate president ruled that the amendment passed, the body
reconsidered the amendment 15 minutes later and overturned it by a margin of
21-17 in a roll call vote, with each no vote cast by a Republican. Two
Republicans backed the initial moratorium on the rifle.
In the all-day Senate session, lawmakers considered multiple measures aimed at
reducing gun violence, including millions of dollars for school safety and
improving mental health services, after the tragic shooting in Parkland, Fla.
where 17 people were killed. A final vote on legislation is slated for Monday.
The chamber's flip-flop was met with frustration among state residents
advocating from gun control in the wake of the tragedy.
Parkland survivor Cameron Kasky, a leading activist among the Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School students now pushing for action by state and
federal lawmakers, appeared to criticize the decision in a tweet shortly after the
vote took place. He did not mention the vote directly in his tweet, however.
"Florida is not disheartened by the pathetic choices made by our lawmakers.
We’re simply excited to kick them out and save our own lives. We have more
hope now than ever. We have a very clear understanding of who’s with us and
who’s against us," Kasky said.

Trump hits Bush: Invading Iraq 'the single worst decision ever made'

President Trump blasted former President George W. Bush on Saturday over the
2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, calling it "the single worst decision ever made."
Speaking at a closed-door event with Republican donors in Florida, Trump
mocked Bush's intellect and compared his decision to invade Iraq to "throwing a
big fat brick into a hornet's nest."
"Here we are, like the dummies of the world, because we had bad politicians
running our country for a long time," Trump said, according to CNN, which
obtained a recording of the president's remarks.
"That was Bush. Another real genius. That was Bush," Trump joked. "That
turned out to be wonderful intelligence. Great intelligence agency there."
Trump has repeatedly attacked U.S. intelligence community, once pointing to
its faulty assessment that the government of former Iraqi leader Saddam
Hussein had weapons of mass destruction as evidence of its unreliability.
He has long held that he has always opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the
United States' prolonged engagement in the country. Interviews recorded before
the invasion, however, suggest otherwise.
Trump has had a strained relationship with the Bush family. He was never given
the endorsement of George W. Bush or his father, former President George
H.W. Bush. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who briefly ran against Trump in
the 2016 GOP presidential primary, never endorsed him either.
Saturday that Mueller's team is looking into a Lebanese-American businessman
and adviser to the UAE's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.
That businessman, George Nader, visited the White House frequently last year,
according to the Times. That investigators are examining Nader's role in the
White House's policymaking and asking about efforts by the Emiratis to
influence the Trump administration suggests that Mueller's probe has broadened
beyond Russian election meddling.
According to the Times, investigators have been asking witnesses about
possible attempts by the Emiratis to buy influence in the White House by
supporting President Trump's 2016 campaign.
The revelation that Mueller's team is looking into possible Emirati influence and
the role of Nader comes after Mueller unsealed indictments against 13 Russian
nationals for their role in an alleged plot to interfere in the 2016 election.
Mueller also recently filed a superseding indictment against former Trump
campaign manager Paul Manafort, and secured a guilty plea from Rick Gates, a
former Trump campaign aide and associate of Manafort.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has either indicted or gotten guilty pleas
from 19 people and three companies so far — with most of those being
announced just in the past few weeks.
That group is composed of four former Trump advisers, 13 Russian nationals,
three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer.
Five of these people have already pleaded guilty — the latest being former
Trump campaign staffer Rick Gates, who signed a plea deal and committed to
cooperate with Mueller’s investigation Friday.
None of the charges against Americans or Trump advisers so far have directly
alleged that they worked with Russia to interfere with the campaign.
Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos have pleaded guilty to making false
statements about their contacts with Russians to investigators. Paul Manafort
and Rick Gates were hit with tax, money laundering and other charges that
relate to their work for the government of Ukraine and a Russia-affiliated
Ukrainian political party.
Other reported focuses of Mueller’s investigation — such as the hacking and
leaking of prominent Democrats’ emails and potential obstruction of justice by
the Trump administration — have not resulted in any indictments yet. Here,
though, are the charges that are publicly known so far.
