TEHRAN – The Leader of the Islamic Revolution has declared that Iran will never allow any inspection of its military sites or interview with its nuclear scientists under any nuclear deal with major powers.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks in a speech at Imam Hussein University in Tehran on Wednesday in which top military commanders were present.

The Leader said the enemies should know that Iran will never give in to “excessive demands” or “bullying”.

He also described excessive demands by the West as one of the “challenges” facing the Islamic system.

“I will not let foreigners to come and talk to our scientists and to interrogate our beloved and prominent sons of this nation who brought us this extensive (nuclear) knowledge,” the Leader noted.

He added, “We will not allow the privacy of our nuclear scientists or any other important issue to be violated.”

No “wise government and nation” will allow such things happen, Ayatollah Khamenei asserted.

The Leader stated that the country’s officials should know that the “strong determination” is the only way to counter against the enemy.

He said that the Iranian negotiators should convey the people’s message in the nuclear talks.

Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to the Leader, said recently that the U.S. has changed its position and toughened its language. “They insist on crossing (our) red lines. This turns into an obstacle,” Velayati said.
Commenting on efforts being made by some Arab officials in the Persian Gulf region to wage proxy wars near Iran’s borders, the Leader said that Tehran will respond strongly to any “mischievous act”.
