Khamenei and Iran

Iran: Other sanctions should be lifted in a reasonable time, while international inspections of military sites and restrictions of a decade or more on Iranian nuclear work aren’t acceptable, Khamenei said, according to Business Week. We have told them how many years of limitations we are ready to accept, he said. Economic, financial and banking sanctions, whether by the United Nations Security Council, US government or Congress, must be lifted immediately after the deal is signed, Khamenei said in an address to senior government and military officials, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency. The ability for Iran to continue research and development of its nuclear programme is also an Iranian red line, Khamenei said. According to the US fact sheet released at that time, Iran agreed to enact deep cuts in its nuclear capability for a decade, and allow intrusive verifications by the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors. The comments come a day after European foreign ministers urged Iran not to backtrack from the preliminary accord reached in April. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
