"Iran doesnt accept anything beyond the international and common rules," Zarean said, addressing a number of Iranian officials visiting the country's nuclear facilities in Fordo, Central Iran, on Monday.
He underscored that the US and other western media hypes outside the international undertaking and against Iran's national security and sovereignty are all politically-tainted attempts and psychological warfare.
Zarean assured the Iranian nation that the country's negotiating team is making its utmost efforts to restore Tehran's rights during its nuclear talks with the world powers.
In relevant remarks late May, Secretary of Irans Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani underlined Tehran's firm stance on its red lines in the ongoing nuclear talks with the world powers, and said that the country would not accept foreign access to its sites beyond the undertakings envisaged in the additional protocol.
"Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be based on normal procedures and merely limited to nuclear facilities; no trend outside the international rules or access to anywhere beyond (what has been mentioned in) the additional protocol is acceptable," Shamkhani said, addressing professors and students of Tehran University in the Iranian capital.
Shamkhani said Iran is resolved to continue the nuclear negotiations while standing firm on its red lines, stressing that Iran would never give in to the excessive demands and bullying of the other side.
He referred to the possibility of striking a final deal with the world powers, and said if the West insists on its excessive demands, the nuclear talks would not end in a deal, which, he reiterated, won't be a tragedy for Iran.
His remarks came after Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei reiterated Iran's opposition to the inspection of sensitive military sites and interview with the country's nuclear scientists.
"As said before, no permission will be given for inspection of any military centers and talks with the nuclear scientists and other sensitive fields of study and intrusion into their privacy," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing the Iranian cadets at Imam Hossein University - a renowned military academy of the IRGC - in Tehran in May.
"I will not allow the aliens to hold talks and interrogate the dear and distinguished scientists and sons of this nation," he stressed.
Ayatollah Khamenei also referred to the nuclear talks underway between Iran and the world powers, and said one of the challenges facing the talks was the other side's bullying and excessive demands.
But he stressed that the enemies should know that the Iranian nation would not bow to the pressures and excessive demands.
In relevant comments on April 9, Ayatollah Khamenei specified conditions for a final nuclear deal with the world powers, and underlined that Iran doesnt allow any inspection of its defensive and military centers.
"They (the foreigners) shouldnt be allowed at all to penetrate into the country's security and defensive boundaries under the pretext of supervision, and the country's military officials are not permitted at all to allow the foreigners to cross these boundaries or stop the country's defensive development under the pretext of supervision and inspection," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large number of Iranian people in Tehran in early April.
Elaborating on his position on the recent nuclear statement issued by Iran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) in Lausanne, Switzerland, he said, "I am neither in favor nor against it since nothing has happened yet and no binding issue has occurred between the two sides."
Ayatollah Khamenei underscored that he will support a final deal which would guarantee the Iranian nation's honor and interests, and added, "I am not indifferent to the negotiations but I have not interfered in the details of the negotiations by now and will not interfere in the future either."
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed the necessity for continued progress in the country's nuclear Research and Development (R&D) and development of the nuclear industry, and said another important issue in the final deal is that "the sanctions should be removed completely on the same day (of the implementation) of any agreement".
Also in April, Head of the AEOI Ali Akbar Salehi said there is no paragraph or article in the additional protocol to NPT to allow inspection of non-nuclear sites.
Salehi said that Paragraph 30 under Article 5 of the NPT Additional Protocol (which has not been yet accepted by Iran and should be approved by the parliament for implementation) allows the inspectors to inspect the vicinities of the non-nuclear sites, but they misinterpret that and intend to enter those sites, which will not be allowed.
"Everyone wishes to present their own interpretations of the nuclear negotiations, but the point to be kept in mind is that the Iranians have still not signed any agreement. The accomplished job so far is the shared understanding over various issues," he went on to say referring to the Iran-Powers nuclear understanding reached in Lausanne on April 2.
After nine days of hard work in Lausanne, Switzerland, Iran and the G5+1 reached an understanding on April 2 which laid the ground for them to start drafting the final nuclear deal over Tehran's nuclear energy program ahead of a July 1 deadline.
Reading out a joint statement at a press conference with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini in Lausanne on April 2, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said according to the agreement, all the US, EU and UN Security Council sanctions against Iran would be lifted under the final deal.
Talks are underway among the delegations of the seven nations to draft the final deal.
