TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says the country’s military capabilities were off limits, ahead of a second round of indirect talks with the United States on its nuclear program.

“National security and defense and military power are among the red lines of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which cannot be discussed or negotiated under any circumstances,” Guards spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini says, as quoted by state broadcaster IRIB.
