“We will not allow them (Westerners) to inspect our military and defense
centers, and our response to any measure in the name of inspection -either
coordinated or not- around the (military) centers or at any distance and in
any shape will be the response that is given to espionage, namely hot
bullets,”
No Inspection Whatsoever of Iran’s Military Sites Allowed: IRGC Officer

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – West’s call for access to Iran’s military sites under the
guise of nuclear inspection is tantamount to espionage, commander of the
Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force said, noting that
Iran’s response to espionage is “hot bullets.”
“We will not allow them (Westerners) to inspect our military and defense
centers, and our response to any measure in the name of inspection -either
coordinated or not- around the (military) centers or at any distance and in
any shape will be the response that is given to espionage, namely hot
bullets,” Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said in a meeting with a
group of foreign military attachés, held in Tehran on Friday.
The commander made it clear that the ploys the White House and its allies
use to infiltrate into Iran have become worn-out, a hint at the West’s
insistence on inspection of Iran’s military sites under a comprehensive
nuclear deal with Tehran.
The remarks by the Iranian commander came after Supreme Leader of the
Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Wednesday stressed that
Iran will not allow the inspection of its military sites.
The Supreme Leader ruled out any request for interviews with Tehran’s
nuclear scientists, and described it as an instance of “interrogation”.
“I would not let foreigners come (here) and talk to the Iranian nation’s
dear scientists... who have expanded this wide knowledge to this stage,”
Imam Khamenei explained.
Iran and Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) have
been negotiating to hammer out a lasting accord that would end more than a
decade of impasse over Tehran's peaceful nuclear program.
On April 2, the two sides reached a framework nuclear agreement after more
than a week of intensive negotiations in Lausanne, Switzerland, with both
sides committed to push for a final, comprehensive accord until the end of
June.
