I ... voice Iran's readiness to provide relief supplies to the quake-stricken people, |
I am proud that at the end of the 20th century, I, as president of my country, have begun a dialogue between civilizations and different peoples, |
I am sure these people have evil aims. They intend to foster violence in society, and we shall stand in their way ... We take the security of our country and our citizens very seriously, |
I assure all peace-loving individuals in the world that Iran's efforts in the field of nuclear technology are focused on civilian application and nothing else. This is the Iranian nation's legitimate right, |
I assure you that we will defend the integrity and honor of the sacred system of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the best of our ability. |
I believe if the Islamic world is given assurances that such an act will not be repeated in the future we will see greater calm. |
I declare my respects to the great people of the United States, and I hope that in the close future I would have a dialogue and talk with the people of America, |
I hope the new parliament will lay such a strong foundation for running the country that it will leave no room for extra-legal groups to impose their capricious will, |
I renew the pact and oath I have with the people, and nothing will stop me from implementing the program I promised them, |
I thank God that after two decades of pain, [and] invasion, today these people are moving forward to rebuilding Afghanistan, |
I will continue investigations until all the aspects of the event are discovered and appropriate action is taken, |
If beliefs of people and nations are insulted then the world will go towards violence. I hope this current situation will be a lesson for reforming in the future. If these policies are to continue, we will unfortunately go toward further violence, which is not desirable by anyone. |
If the invaders reach Iran, the country will turn into a burning hell for them. |
If this nation says we don't want you, we will go. |
Ignoring moralities is always undesirable, but doing so systematically is really worrisome. |
