Khamenei stands fast on no UN access to nuclear scientists

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday that Tehran would not accept “unreasonable demands” in the ongoing negotiations with the world powers for “access” to its nuclear scientists. “We will not allow the privacy of our nuclear scientists or any other important issue to be violated,” he declared. He also refused to permit inspections of Iran’s military sites, following Western allegations that they were used for secret tests on a nuclear warhead.
