TEHRAN (FNA)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali
Khamenei reiterated Iran's opposition to the inspection of sensitive
military sites and interview with the country's nuclear scientists.

"As said before, no permission will be given for inspection of any military
centers and talks with the nuclear scientists and other sensitive fields of
study and intrusion into their privacy," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing
the Iranian cadets at Imam Hossein University - a renowned military academy
of the IRGC - in Tehran on Wednesday.

"I will not allow the aliens to hold talks and interrogate the dear and
distinguished scientists and sons of this nation," he stressed.

Ayatollah Khamenei also referred to the nuclear talks underway between Iran
and the world powers, and said one of the challenges facing the talks is the
other side's bullying and excessive demands.

But he stressed that the enemies should know that the Iranian nation will
not bow to the pressures and excessive demands.

Elsewhere, the Supreme Leader pointed to certain reports on collaboration
between the enemies and certain Persian Gulf littoral states' officials to
draw proxy wars to Iran's bordering areas, and said, "The Islamic Revolution
Guards Corps and all those Armed Forces who safeguard the national security
boundaries are vigilant and awake and if any mischief happens, the Islamic
Republic of Iran will show a very harsh reaction."

He also dismissed enemies' propaganda on isolation of Iran, and said the
Islamic Republic has always been adored by different nations and enemies'
attempts are futile.

In relevant remarks on April 9, Ayatollah 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 in early April.

Elaborating on his position on the recent nuclear statement issued by Iran
and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany)
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 Paragraph 30 under 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.

Talks are underway among the delegations of the seven nations to draft the
final deal.
