Deal or no deal, just days before the vote, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces outlined Iran's red lines.
- To block "infiltration" of "Iran's defense and security affairs under the pretext of nuclear supervision and inspection... Iranian military officials are not allowed to let the foreigners go through the country's security-defense shield and fence."
- "Iran's military officials are not at all allowed to stop the country's defense development and progress on the pretext of supervision and inspection and the country's defense development and capabilities should not be harmed in the talks."
- "Our support for our brothers in the resistance (Hizb'allah, Assad, Yemeni Houthis, Hamas) in different places should not be undermined."
- A final deal should be a "comprehensive one envisaging the right for Iran to rapidly reverse its measures in case the opposite side refrains from holding up its end of the bargain."
- "Iran's national security necessitates guaranteed irreversibility of the sanctions removal and this is no issue for bargaining, trade, or compromise."
- "Implementation...should totally depend on the approval of the country's legal and official authorities and the start time for the implementation of undertakings should first be approved by the relevant bodies."
- Iran would not be limited in transferring its nuclear know-how to other countries of its choosing
