Iran rules out inspections of military sites (again)
Times of Israel ^ | April 19, 2015, 1:46 pm

A senior commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said Sunday that inspectors would be barred from military sites under any nuclear agreement with world powers.

Gen. Hossein Salami, the Guard’s deputy leader, said on state TV that allowing the foreign inspection of military sites is tantamount to “selling out.”

“We will respond with hot lead (bullets) to those who speak of it,” Salami said. “Iran will not become a paradise for spies. We will not roll out the red carpet for the enemy.”

Iran and six world powers — the US, the UK, France, Germany, China and Russia — have reached a framework agreement to curb Tehran’s nuclear program in return for lifting sanctions, and hope to strike a final deal by June 30.

A fact sheet on the framework accord issued by the State Department said Iran would be required to grant the UN nuclear agency access to any “suspicious sites.” Iran has questioned that and other language in the fact sheet, notably that sanctions would only be lifted after the International Atomic Energy Agency has verified Tehran’s compliance. Iran’s leaders have said the sanctions should be lifted on the first day of the implementation of the accord.

The fact sheet said Iran has agreed to implement the Additional Protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which would grant the IAEA expanded access to both declared and undeclared nuclear facilities.

But Salami said allowing foreign inspectors to visit a military base would amount to “occupation,” and expose “military and defense secrets.”

“It means humiliating a nation,” Salami said on state TV. “They will not even be permitted to inspect the most normal military site in their dreams.”

Iran allowed IAEA inspectors to visit the Parchin military site in 2005 as a confidence-building measure, but denied further visits, fearing espionage.

What is a point of allowing inspections?

What Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi had in common?
The answer is they killed Islamic terrorists, dismantled their WMD programs and bowed down to UN.
The way ‘international community’ rewarded their compliance is eye-opening for any rogue regime.
At the same time, Iranian mullahs and fat little Kim are screaming death to America, doing different other unpleasant things and they are alive and well.
You guys should expect nuclear weapons to become more common in a near future.

Well, if there ever was a nation that needed
humiliating that would be Iran.

Humiliated and made radioactive, works for me.
Look no street lights needed, the roads glow
in the dark.
