The Fars News Agency, close to IRGC and Khamenei, has quoted Ali Larijani, the head of Iran’s parliament, threatening the West to go back to the regime’s previous practice of enriching uranium. He pointed to the western countries “futile attempts” to corner Iran by imposing harsh economic sanctions. Larijani said, “In spite of failure to pressure us by sanctions, they (Western countries) still talk nonsense and demand too much.”

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

The head of Majlis expressed the regime’s willingness for enriching uranium as high as %20, if the negotiations fail. He said, “We 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.”

In light of US congress’s concern over President Obama’s enthusiasm to strike a deal with Tehran, Iran’s officials have intensified their retherics over inspections, one of the key disputable items in Lausanne’s controversial agreement.

On May 4th, Hassan Firouzabadi, Iranian Armed Forces’ chief of staff reminded, “the country’s negotiators that a final deal with world powers over the country’s nuclear energy program could by no means allow foreign access to Iran’s military sites under the pretext of inspection.” Earlier last month on April 9, Ali Khamenei had also, “rejected foreign access to the country’s “security and defensive” sectors under the pretext of nuclear monitoring.”

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’s speech 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.
