The International Committee in Search of Justice said in a statement: “Recent remarks by Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei once again revealed his intention to acquire the nuclear bomb and demonstrated that without a firm approach on part of the international community and in particular the United States, this regime will do its utmost to use the negotiations to advance its nuclear projects.”
The Iranian regime has announced its refusal to allow international nuclear inspectors to visit military sites or interview scientists in the regime’s latest defiance of the West.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said permission would never be given for his ‘shameless and arrogant adversary’ to ‘interrogate’ Iran’s nuclear experts.
The statement by the ISJ’s president, Dr. Alejo Vidal Quadras, quoted Khamenei as announcing on May 20: “We shall not allow any military site to be inspected by foreigners.
“They say that they should come and interview our scientists — meaning to interrogate them. We shall not allow the slightest insult towards our nuclear scientists or our scientists in any sensitive area.
“I shall not allow foreigners to come here and sit down and talk with our scientists, with the prominent and beloved children of the Iranian nation who have brought this immense science this far.
“The shameless and arrogant adversary expects the path to be opened for them to come and speak with our scientists, our professors, our scholars… such permission shall never be given. The only way to confront the hideous enemy is through our unwavering determination and impassiveness.”
The ISJ said Khamenei’s fear of inspections demonstrated his determination to acquire the nuclear bomb, despite ongoing negotiations with the US and five other leading powers to halt Iran’s nuclear program.
It added: “Given the experience of the past three decades that has proven the Iranian regime untrustworthy, we emphasise that extending this regime’s breakaway time for another 6 to 9 months will solve no problem whatsoever.
“The sole solution lies in enforcing the UN Security Council resolutions, putting a definite end to regime’s uranium enrichment, and dissolving its nuclear sites.
“In addition, the Iranian regime should: present to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) all warranted clarifications regarding the possible military dimensions (PMD) of its nuclear program; disclose to the IAEA a list of all of its nuclear experts and its networks involved in smuggling nuclear equipment so that they could be interviewed and investigated; sign the Additional Protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and accept unnoticed inspections at any time and any site, military or civilian.
“Until implementation of the above mentioned points, no sanctions against Iran should be lifted, otherwise all the income derived from lifting the sanctions will be spent on purchase of weapons and equipment for military nuclear projects.”
