“I will not permit aliens [foreigners] to come and interview with scientists who have gotten the domestic nuclear knowledge to this level,” Khamenei was quoted as saying by Iran’s IRNA state news agency during a meeting at Imam Hossein University. “They should realize that Iran’s response to any evil move will be very harsh,” Khamenei added.

He also said Iran “won’t allow foreigners to carry out any inspections on military sites.”
