The minister also dismissed reports regarding plans to produce Iranian versions of the Russian S-300 or S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems.
Iran decided to build the missile system following the cancellation of an $800m deal signed with Russia in 2005 involving the sale of its S-300 system in September 2010.
The S-300 air defence system is an advanced mobile system capable of shooting down aircraft and cruise missiles from a distance of 150km, according to Fars News Agency.
