The Iranian parliament voted overwhelmingly to ban nuclear inspections as part of a future deal with world powers, chants “Death to America”. The bill Obama favors includes a complete lifting of all sanctions against Iran as part of any final nuclear accord. The terms stipulated in the bill allow for international inspections of Iranian nuclear sites, but forbid any inspections of military facilities. The bill's wording describes “access to military, security and sensitive non-nuclear sites, as well as documents and scientists, is forbidden.”

Who's side is Obama on?

Given Hussein Obozo's demonstrated, clear hatred of Israel, his muzzie roots and Iran's vow to destroy Israel, I think the answer to who's side he's on is obvious.

I can't wait for Obama to leave the White House......

It's going to need a good cleaning.

Yes, it is "historic" in its sheer lunacy.

Iranian leaders have already said they aren't going to allow nuclear inspections.

This is insanity, and that's why Obama should not get any additional trade authority either.

He admitted many times on video he had no constitutional authority to give amnesty, but said the hell with it and did it anyhow.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday ruled out freezing sensitive nuclear work in the country and said sanctions imposed on it should be lifted as soon it reaches a final deal with major powers, state TV reported.

"Freezing Iran's Research and Development (R&D) is not acceptable," Khamenei said in a speech broadcast live.

Disputes over how much transparency Iran should offer to ease suspicions that it has covertly sought to develop nuclear bombs, and the timing and pace of relief from sanctions imposed on Tehran, have been two major sticking points to the final deal.

"All financial and economic sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council, the U.S. Congress or the U.S. government should be lifted immediately when we sign a nuclear agreement," Khamenei said.

The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been trying to investigate Western allegations that Iran has been working on designing a nuclear warhead. Iran says that its nuclear program is peaceful and that it is working with the IAEA to clear up any suspicions.

Khamenei voiced trust in Iran's negotiating team but, echoing hardline Iranian military commanders, also ruled out international access to Iran's military sites.

"Inspection of our military sites is out of the question and is one of our red lines," he said.

U.N. inspectors regularly monitor Iran's declared nuclear facilities, but the IAEA has complained for years of a lack of access to sites, equipment, documents and people relevant to its probe.

In a move that potentially will complicate chances for the final accord with the six powers, Iran's parliament passed a bill on Tuesday banning access for IAEA inspectors to its military sites and scientists.

France has spearheaded the powers' demand that Iran must first step up cooperation with the IAEA if it wants to reach a final deal. The U.S government on the other hand is pushing for a signed agreement with immediate easing of economic sanctions and details of compliance; to be worked out at a later date.
