Access to Iran's Military Sites Religiously Banned: Cleric

A senior Iranian cleric dismissed the West’s call for access to the country’s military sites under a nuclear deal with Tehran, saying the religious jurisprudence bars any scheme that would result in the enemy’s control over a Muslim country.

Delivering a speech to worshippers in Tehran on Friday, Ayatollah Kazem Seddiqi underscored that the West’s inspection of Iran’s military sites would go counter to commandments of Quran, according to which religious experts have said any plan entailing enemy’s upper hand vis-à-vis the country is prohibited.

Ayatollah Kazem Seddiqi also pointed to the red lines defined by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, whom he described as the religious leader with the final say in Iran.

Earlier on April 9, Ayatollah Khamenei categorically rejected foreign access to the country's "security and defensive" sectors under the pretext of nuclear monitoring.

1. right, I am sure the Quran had nuclear inspections in mind when it was written, NOT

I have no doubt that the deal will fall apart if that does not happen

3. Negotiations continue, positions shift, folks make public comment...that is how it works. Junior cleric say what? America has

clerics saying all kinds of stuff also, anyone notice?

Means as much as Cotton's treasonous letter.

It is not the Iran religious nutjobs that may stop an agreement, it is the American religious nutjobs.

The West goes too far....foreign inspection of all military bases? What nation would not consider that a simple humiliation?

5. Sorry but if they don't have complete access the deal isn't worth anything

The whole point is verification. I don't think we should go to war over it, but the embargo will remain, and that is what brought them to the negotiating table in the first place

That is the problem with theocracies

2. *sigh*

Way to prove the people who hate you are right, Ayatollah!

[Adrahil]

4. So Iran has it's right wing nuts determined to kill a deal too.

Hopefully, saner heads will prevail!

8. Well, settle, or I suspect you may be asking Allah about this in person. There are a lot of

people who think we could profit by more war.
