The agency and other parties should not block roads to … Iran.

Whatever the result of this meeting might be, Iran will not abandon its rights (to nuclear technology).

We advise them (Europe) not to choose any path except dialogue. If there is a retribution to be paid, that will include Europe too.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has full control over its long, joint borders with Afghanistan. The recent U.S. accusations against Iran are inspired and dictated by the Zionist regime.

The only way to reach an understanding and to get out of the current situation is talks.

The Russian proposal is not on the agenda any more. Circumstances have changed. We must wait and see how the situation will develop [in the UN Security Council].

There is no judicial or legal reason to send the Iranian dossier to the Security Council.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has adopted measures to fight such moves in line with efforts to defend national security and within the framework of bilateral accords already reached with Iraq.

Nuclear research will go on, and threats and blackmail will have no effect on the regime’s decision.

It would be good for Mr Blair to participate in the Holocaust seminar in Tehran.

Let the negotiations with different sides continue. Later we can make judgments.

However, that does not mean that we will rule out the European trio. We just want to talk with all countries and our principal negotiating partner is the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Instead of being misleading, the Danish prime minister should present an apology and put an end to this affair, and promise it will never happen again.

Unlike the British, Iran does not make accusations without sufficient evidence to support them.

Tomorrow will be crucial for the IAEA, for a big test is confronting the agency, by which it will show how it defends its own authority and credibility by securing its members’ rights. We hope...

Meanwhile, we are looking forward to the reaction of other states to the grave mistake made in the IAEA.

The Russian proposal is ambiguous. If they want to propose enrichment (only) in Russia we have said it is not acceptable. But if it is a complementary or parallel plan, we will study that.

While the activities of the Islamic Republic have always been peaceful and carried out under the supervision of the IAEA, the approval of this resolution puts the efficiency and independence of the agency under serious...

The support given by the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Palestinian people and their cause is merely spiritual. Not only Iran but all Muslim and freedom-loving states supported the legitimate struggles of the Palestinian...

They [Kuwaitis] will naturally not be allowed to do anything in Iran’s territorial waters, but if they do anything, it should be where it is not claimed by Iran.

It is aimed at violating the religious values, causing discord and sectarian wars as well as damaging national unity in Iraq.

We have information that the United States is interfering in the northwest of Iran. That is unacceptable and we are going to protest,

I recommend that they do not make hasty decisions, be prudent and study their path in the past. Any time they have pressured Iran they have got adverse results.

These remarks are made to justify failures in Iraq, since Americans and world opinions are pinpointing (that US) weaknesses are on the rise,

We will stand by our right to nuclear technology. It is our red line. We are ready to deal with any possible scenario. Iran is not afraid of threatening language.

We will defend our rights. Iran believes that we can come to a solution through talks, and there is no legal basis for referring Iran’s dossier to the Security Council. We are not afraid at...

Insulting the prophet was unacceptable, resentful, and a sign of barbarism.

Iran is determined to remove ambiguities, continue talks and win its rights.

Dissemination of such reports aim to cover up failure of the occupying forces in guaranteeing security of Iraq.

Britain, instead of repeating awkward accusations, had better think of a plan to withdraw its troops from Iraq.

Iran will not allow any cross-border operation of any terrorist group against Iranian or Iraqi interests consistent with their commitment to the international campaign against terrorism.

We have not moved or transferred our hard currency assets. The report on the move is not correct.

We will reconsider our economic cooperation with those countries that voted against us.

It is a strange world. It is possible to discuss everything except the Holocaust. The Foreign Ministry plans to hold a conference on the scientific aspect of the issue to discuss and review its repercussions.

It seems that the European proposal will be an empty one and will not satisfy Iran’s demands.

We will decide depending on the position they have towards the Islamic republic.

We welcome the start of the trial of Saddam, who has committed crimes against humanity,

Iran’s preference is to defend its national rights enshrined in the NPT.

Operating some centrifuges is different from the enrichment, and we will continue the research work and never give in under pressures.

America and Rice are pressuring other countries to vote against Iran, but we hope those countries act independently.

The statements of certain western officials show that contrary to their absurd claims, westerners are disqualified, and impetuous, lacking any cultural background.

We are not worried by the Security Council, but it is the wrong method.

The Russian plan should be taken as a complimenting enrichment inside the country (Iran).

We are discussing the legal, scientific, financial and joint investment aspects of the Russian proposal.

The American leaders are under pressure from the international and regional public and the Iraqi Muslim people and to justify their failings they invent a ficticious enemy.

If they do not act wisely and make a mistake, they are the ones who will suffer losses.

The door for negotiations is still open. We don’t fear the Security Council. It’s not the end of the world.

Preliminary conditions need to be set first and this has not been done yet. Iran is in no rush for these conditions to be set because we were from the beginning pessimistic about U.S. needs.

We are determined not to give up our rights to nuclear energy, and suspension of relevant activities is not on our agenda. The issue is irreversible.

We haven’t started enrichment yet but everything depends on the result of tomorrow’s meeting.
