No UN inspection of military sites: Iran

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei yesterday ruled out allowing nuclear inspectors to visit military sites or to question scientists, state media reported. The United States as well as Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany are in the midst of negotiations with Tehran to finalise a deal by June 30 that would prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, in exchange for an easing of crippling economic sanctions.
