Iran has rejected a letter by three European countries accusing it of developing missiles capable of delivering nuclear bombs.
But Mr Zarif on Twitter said the Europeans were covering up their own"miserable incompetence" at abiding by the nuclear deal and were"bowing to US bullying".
The European powers also pointed to three other launches this year, including that of the Borkan-3, a new medium-range ballistic missile tested by Iranian-backed Houthi forces in Yemen on August 2.The letter, dated 21 November, said these flights were"the latest in a long series of advances in Iranian ballistic missile technology".
"Iran is determined to resolutely continue its activities related to ballistic missiles and space launch vehicles, both of which are within its inherent rights under international law," the letter said.Iranian President's Office
