With some lawmakers chanting "Death to the America," Iran's parliament voted to ban access to military sites, documents and scientists as part of a future deal with world powers over its contested nuclear program.
The bill, if ratified, could complicate the ongoing talks in Vienna between Iran and the six-nation group — the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — as they face a self-imposed June 30 deadline. The talks are focused on reaching a final accord that curbs Iran's nucletyar program in return for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Of 213 lawmakers present on Sunday, 199 voted in favor of the bill, which also demands the complete lifting of all sanctions against Iran as part of any final nuclear accord. The bill must be ratified by the Guardian Council, a constitutional watchdog, to become a law.
The terms stipulated in the bill allow for international inspections of Iranian nuclear sites, but forbid any inspections of military facilities.

Snark indeed. That graphic is perfect. Sums up exactly what will happen when all is said and done.
It's not just a slogan anymore, but a hit song all over the Mideast. ☺
But they don’t listen.
But one day they will.
I don’t know why Bush didn’t push harder and throw our full military support behind a surgical strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
I suspect Israel hasn’t now because someone in the current American government has made clear that we won’t support them, or even actively stop them.
About time to fly under some commercial jets and go to town though.
Be careful, Sarah, with using “America” and “flag banning” in the same sentence. You’ll give them the idea next that we have to ban the word “America”.
Israel will simply have to nuke all the military sites then, just to be sure.
I’ve no doubt that Obama has told Israel that the US will shoot down any Israeli bombing mission. I find it amazing that Turkey, even if it is also Islamic, would want a nuclear Iran or Iraq or Syria on its borders.
Israel needs a route that avoids any US fleet.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

100 or so low-flying cruise missiles should do it. Target about three per site, 5KT warheads. At least one would (almost certainly) get through to each target.
Hopefully, we can run out the clock on him and keep Hillary out.
The issue will be finding all the sites that have actual bomb research and bomb construction taking place. I assume Israel knows those sites, but who knows?
“UN inspectors to look at ‘nuclear sites’ but they cannot look at any site designated a ‘military site’ at all.”
It’s very simple. The UN can “look at” any building, but they can’t go inside any building as there is a sign on the door that reads, “Military Site”.
For a few recent years, I read the Jerusalem Post every day. If anything happened in Iran, or Syria, or Lebanon or Gaza or the West Bank, plus all the rest of the middle east, it was in that paper.
Paper would report “x” happened in Iran (like nuclear scientists blown up in car bombs at various times), Iran’s computers being corrupted at nuclear sites, etc.
The funniest ones were new very large vessels arriving at “x” site, to be placed on each side of the front door to replace the ones that were already there. Then, new equipment came to replace their old drink preparing equipment. Finally, after a period of months, the Iranians discovered broadcasting equipment in the drink machine and in those outside vessels. Israel was listening to all of the Iranians at that nuclear site talk to each other outside and inside that nuclear facility when they would get a drink.
Certainly, Israel knows where those nuclear sites are. At some point, they will take them out.
I'm hoping you are right.
This is for one purpose and one only. Keep Israel off balance. The likelihood of Israel attacking Iran's newkler facilities remains low as long as negotiations continue.
Israel will be taking a huge gamble if they attack during negotiations simply because the world will become outraged they'd be so callous.
