\"larijani\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Fars News Agency, close to IRGC and Khamenei, has quoted<\/a> Ali Larijani, the head of Iran\u2019s parliament, threatening the West to go back to the regime\u2019s previous practice of enriching uranium. He pointed to the western countries \u201cfutile attempts\u201d to corner Iran by imposing harsh economic sanctions. Larijani said, \u201cIn spite of failure to pressure us by sanctions, they (Western countries) still talk nonsense and demand too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Larijani\u2019s statement came as a response to John Kerry\u2019s interview<\/a> with Israel’s Channel 10 Television on May 2nd, \u201ca final agreement due to be agreed by June 30 provides indefinite access to Iranian nuclear facilities.\u201d Kerry also said, \u201c”We will have inspectors in there every single day. That’s not a 10-year deal. That’s forever. There have to be inspections.”<\/p>\n

The head of Majlis expressed the regime\u2019s willingness for enriching uranium as high as %20, if the negotiations fail. He said, \u201cWe stopped our %20 enrichment because we did not need it at the time, but if the other sides continue an intimidation campaign, the road to high level enrichment is wide open.\u201d<\/p>\n

In light of US congress\u2019s concern over President Obama\u2019s enthusiasm to strike a deal with Tehran, Iran\u2019s officials have intensified their retherics over inspections, one of the key disputable items in Lausanne\u2019s controversial agreement.<\/p>\n

On May 4th, Hassan Firouzabadi, Iranian Armed Forces\u2019 chief of staff reminded, \u201cthe country\u2019s negotiators that a final deal with world powers over the country’s nuclear energy program could by no means allow foreign access to Iran\u2019s military sites under the pretext of inspection.\u201d Earlier last month on April 9, Ali Khamenei had also, \u201crejected foreign access to the country\u2019s \u201csecurity and defensive\u201d sectors under the pretext of nuclear monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Years of negotiations with Iran have only fruited in Mullahs boldness, both in the Middle East and to heighten their nuclear ambitions. Without a doubt, President Obama\u2019s speech<\/a> on conclusion of Lausanne negotiations in Rose Garden made Khamenei more decisive to prolong the nuclear talks. The harder President Obama tries to sell its Iran deal to the congress, more confident Khamenei becomes to make the US concede.
