DUBAI: Those who say Iran's future lies in negotiations rather than missiles are wrong, the Islamic Republic's highest authority Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on
Wednesday, according to his website.

"Those who say the future is in negotiations, not in missiles, are either ignorant or traitors," the supreme leader's website quoted him as saying.
