Iran's president-elect said Monday he would not meet with President Joe Biden nor negotiate over Tehran's ballistic missile program and its support of regional militias, sticking to a hard-line position following his landslide victory in last week's election.

It marked the first time he's been put on the spot on live television over that dark moment in Iranian history at the end of the Iran-Iraq war. Asked about Iran's ballistic missile program and its support of regional militias, Raisi described the issues as "non-negotiable." The White House did not immediately respond to Raisi's statements Monday.
