Impossible Under Any Deal

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Supreme Leader's representative at the Islamic
Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ali Saeedi brushed aside any possibility for
inspection of the country's military sites.

"There is no possibility for the inspection of military centers," Saeedi
said in an interview with Afkarnews website on Saturday.

He underlined that inspections will be limited to those Iranian provinces in
which a part of the country's nuclear fuel production cycle exists.

"If they want to put their nose into other places within the framework of
inspections, it will be against our national interests and security, and
neither the Supreme Leader nor the parliament will allow this to happen,"
Saeedi said.

In relevant remarks on April 9, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei specified conditions for a final nuclear deal
with the world powers, and underlined that Iran doesn’t allow any inspection
of its defensive and military centers.

"They (the foreigners) shouldn’t be allowed at all to penetrate into the
country's security and defensive boundaries under the pretext of
supervision, and the country's military officials are not permitted at all
to allow the foreigners to cross these boundaries or stop the country's
defensive development under the pretext of supervision and inspection,"
Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large number of Iranian people in
Tehran.

Elaborating on his position on the recent nuclear statement issued by Iran
and the G5+1 in Lausanne, Switzerland, he said, "I am neither in favor nor
against it since nothing has happened yet and no binding issue has occurred
between the two sides."

Ayatollah Khamenei underscored that he will support a final deal which would
guarantee the Iranian nation's honor and interests, and added, "I am not
indifferent to the negotiations but I have not interfered in the details of
the negotiations by now and will not interfere in the future either."

Ayatollah Khamenei stressed the necessity for continued progress in the
country's nuclear Research and Development (R&D) and development of the
nuclear industry, and said another important issue in the final deal is that
"the sanctions should be removed completely on the same day (of the
implementation) of any agreement".

Also in April, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali
Akbar Salehi said there is no paragraph or article in the additional
protocol to NPT to allow inspection of non-nuclear sites.

Salehi said that the Paragraph 30 under the Article 5 of the NPT Additional
Protocol (which has not been yet accepted by Iran and should be approved by
the parliament for implementation) allows the inspectors to inspect the
vicinities of the non-nuclear sites, but they misinterpret that and intend
to enter those sites, which will not be allowed.

"Everyone wishes to present their own interpretations of the nuclear
negotiations, but the point to be kept in mind is that the Iranians have
still not signed any agreement. The accomplished job so far is the shared
understanding over various issues," he went on to say referring to the
Iran-Powers nuclear understanding reached in Lausanne on April 2.

After nine days of hard work in Lausanne, Switzerland, Iran and the G5+1
reached an understanding on April 2 which laid the ground for them to start
drafting the final nuclear deal over Tehran's nuclear energy program ahead
of a July 1 deadline.

Reading out a joint statement at a press conference with EU foreign policy
chief Federica Mogherini in Lausanne on April 2, Iranian Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif said according to the agreement, all the US, EU and UN
Security Council sanctions against Iran would be lifted under the final
deal.

The delegations of the seven nations are now in New York drafting the final
deal.
