Tasnim � Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces slammed as �worthless� calls by the US administration for foreign access to Iran�s military bases, saying the Islamic Republic would not permit others to interfere in its defense affairs.

�The Trump administration�s hullabaloo about controlling or visiting the Islamic Republic of Iran�s military centers is worth nothing,� Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said on Sunday.

He also stressed that the US insistence on inspection of Iran�s military bases is both in contradiction to the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and lacking in credibility when taking into account the country�s national security.

In August, US President Donald Trump dispatched his UN ambassador Nikki Haley to Vienna to press the UN nuclear chief on their reading of Iran�s compliance with the JCPOA, the nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

Thereafter, Iran�s mission to the IAEA issued a statement, saying the objectives and the results of Haley�s trip to Vienna �contradict� the JCPOA and Resolution 2231, which the UN Security Council adopted to endorse the nuclear agreement.
