Press TV - A senior Iranian parliamentarian says the country will not allow inspection of its military sites under any circumstances.
As senior Iranian government and military officials have repeatedly saidIrans military sites do not haveany connection with itsnuclear facilities, and are substantially unrelated to our nuclear activities, MP Hossein Naqavi Hosseini said Monday.
He also advised the US to remain committed to fulfilling itsobligations under the 2015 nuclear accord, "instead of addressing the aspirations that are impossible" and commenting on the forbidden areas and red lines of Iran.
"Under no circumstances will we submit to the inspection of military centers and we cannot allow the foreign side to visit our military centers," said Naqavi Hosseini who is the spokesman for Majlis Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy.
"If they have a discussion or a subject fordiscussion, they can discuss it with our diplomats, but they must know that Iran'smilitary centers are secret and its doors will always be closed to the strangers."
The lawmaker said one of the things that keepsIranreadyto deal with threats is the country's military sites which should naturally remain intact.
The US has been pressing the the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to request access to Iranian military sites for inspections.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley flew to IAEA headquarters in Vienna last week to personally lobby with the nuclear agency foraccess to Iran's military sites.
The IAEA is tasked with monitoring Iranian compliance with the landmark deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The atomic agency has verified continued Iranian compliance in its latest report.IAEA officials have also said there was no ground for asking Iran to allowaccess to itsmilitary sites.
The parliamentary committees chairman Alaeddin Boroujerdi (seen below) also said, It is likely that some people may seek access to our countrys military information under the guise of IAEA inspectors.
He said the Americans are trying to sabotage the nuclear deal and its implementation, because they see themselves a loser, havingno diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic.
"Giventhe presence of many countries in the Iranian economic arena, the Americansdo not see a share staked out for them. Hence, they areseeking to disrupt the implementation of the JCPOA and the lifting of sanctions" on Iran, Boroujerdi said.
"As a result, the Americans are constantly looking for pretexts and putting pressure on IAEA officials," he added.
The MP said Iran's military sites have nothing to do with the nuclear issues, and any permission to visit military centers is subject to the decision ofthe Supreme National Security Council.
Boroujerdi also reiterated Iran's denunciation of nuclear weapons, saying it is the only country that in addition to being amember of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), "enjoys the robust support of the fatwa" issued by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei against nuclear weapons.
