Iran\’s supreme leader on Wednesday ruled out allowing international inspectors to interview Iranian nuclear scientists as part of any potential deal on its nuclear program, and reiterated that the country would not allow the inspection of military sites.
In a graduation speech at the Imam Hussein Military University in Tehran, the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, widely believed to have the final say on whether Iran accepts a deal if one is reached next month, denounced what he said were escalating demands by the United States and five other world powers as they accelerate the pace of the negotiations with Iran.
“They say new things in the negotiations,” Ayatollah Khamenei told the military graduates. “Regarding inspections, we have said that we will not let foreigners inspect any military center.”
THE “IRAN DEAL” FIASCO” (CONT.)

This is for anyone left – assuming there is anyone left – who thinks that Barack Obama or John Kerry have even the slightest capability to cut a meaningful deal with the terrorist lunatics in Iran.
Here are the first three paragraphs of Thomas Erdbrink and David A Sanger\’s article in The New York Times:
In other words, the person in charge of Iran – the one who supersedes all others – is telling us in so many words (and this is not the first time he has done so), that there will be no interviews with nuclear scientists and no inspections of any activities at military installations…
…which means, since the nuclear facilities would be placed at military installations, that there would no inspections at all.
Put another way, we have agreed to lift sanctions on Iran, freeing up billions of dollars for the country to pursue its nuclear ambitions, and allowed it to maintain its nuclear program on the premise that there would be meaningful inspections of the nuclear facilities…
…except there won\’t be any inspections…
…which means the only result of this brilliant negotiation is that Iran has had its sanctions lifted, and – as the single most prolific exporter/funder of international terrorism on the planet – is free to continue on its merry way building the nuclear capacity it can provide to the terrorists it supports/funds, and can attempt to make good on its repeatedly stated promise to wipe Israel off the map.
But, then again, why would any reasonable person expect more? What has either Barack Obama or John Kerry ever accomplished that would suggest they could negotiate a meaningful, beneficial deal with Iran…or, for that matter, any other country?
During Mr. Obama\’s presidency we have become an international joke. A country with no serious plan to address any international situation (in that context, I will be writing about ISIS later on today) and no intention of carrying through on any threats (red line in Syria, anyone?). So why, then, would Iran – a country that would only accede to our demands under extreme duress – come across with anything that we want, now that we have lifted its sanctions, thus eliminated the duress?
This nightmare ends at noon on January 20, 2017. Noon on January 2017 cannot come fast enough.
