Access to Iran's Military Sites Religiously Banned: Cleric
Source: Tasnim
A senior Iranian cleric dismissed the Wests call for access to the countrys military sites under a nuclear deal with Tehran, saying the religious jurisprudence bars any scheme that would result in the enemys control over a Muslim country.
Delivering a speech to worshippers in Tehran on Friday, Ayatollah Kazem Seddiqi underscored that the Wests inspection of Irans military sites would go counter to commandments of Quran, according to which religious experts have said any plan entailing enemys 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.

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?

That is the problem with theocracies
