IRAN: Deputy Foreign Minister denies agreement on military site inspection

Abbas Araghchi, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Iranian regime who is also a negotiator in nuclear talks on Sunday denied accepting military site inspections as part of a nuclear deal with world powers.

A member of the Iranian regime’s parliament had claimed that “In his report, Mr. Araghchi said that inspections of military sites have been accepted but the inspections are regulated and will be seriously managed.” Lawmaker Javad Karimi-Ghodoussi was quoted as saying by Fars news agency.

Araghchi denied the lawmaker’s comments on his Instagram page.

“What can we do except put the fate of Karimi-Ghodoussi and Fars in the hands of God?” he wrote alongside a picture of a Fars headline that read: “We accepted the inspection of military sites”.

Araghchi said later that during the briefing both he and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif reiterated their “objection to inspections or visits to any military centers or interviews with our nuclear scientists”.

“We presented necessary explanations… regarding security measures which countries implementing the protocol usually take in order to protect their military, nuclear and industrial information and prevent spying,” he said in a statement from the ministry.

Quotes attributed to Abbas Araghchi on Fars news agency contradicted position of Ali Khamenei, the regime’s Supreme Leader who has the final say on any important policy issue.

The Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei rejected IAEA inspections of military sites and interview with nuclear scientists on Wednesday, May 20, thus disclosing his intentions to carry on the regime’s policy of concealment and duplicity in a bid to complete and advance its nuclear projects.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance’s President-elect, made the following comment in this regard: Khamenei’s remarks and his regime’s conducts which coincide with the nuclear talks, reaffirm the fact that force and firmness are the only language the mullahs’ regime understands. After three decades of concealment and deception, adding six or nine months to the breakout time does not comprise a solution. Only the stringent implementation of UN Security Council resolutions can definitely prevent the regime from gaining access to the nuclear bomb. Placating negotiations with this religious fascism will not secure the world from the threat of nuclear-armed mullahs but will further incite their danger to the peoples of Iran, region and the world by giving time to the terrorist mullahs.

Mrs. Rajavi added: The nuclear bomb guarantees the Iranian regime’s survival and is requisite to its hegemony over the region. This is why the people of Iran earnestly oppose this program and the Iranian Resistance calls for a democratic and non-nuclear Iran. (Read full text here and here) .
