relations with the United States are not a cure for our ills.

We understand and we know that their (the Western powers’) intentions are bad. All of our activities have been transparent to the IAEA and we’ve announced many times that because of our religious and cultural...

By unleashing an active diplomacy on its nuclear activities, Iran has effectively neutralized the European and US policies,

A country, which possesses the biggest nuclear arsenal, embarks on proliferation of nuclear weapons in defiance of the safeguards (of NPT) and threatens to use them against others, is not competent to comment on peaceful...

defend the rights and interest of our people and our country … we do not humble ourselves in the poisoned atmosphere created by foreign sources. We will remain strong and vigilant and work to overcome...

Iraq, after the fall of Saddam Hussein, is not considered as a threat to its neighbors and the entire region.

Such accusations will definitely not affect the expansion of relations between Iran and Iraq,

Usually, you cannot prove that sort of thing. How can you prove that you are not a bad person?

Iran is ready to transfer nuclear know-how to the Islamic countries due to their need.

Iran’s strong logic and firm diplomacy is the guideline for all government officials in negotiations on country’s peaceful nuclear program with foreigners, quite resolutely.

weak persons because they are new faces.

My words are the Iranian nation’s words,

a blessing given by God.

In case anyone intends to raise a pretext, they are just after seeking pretexts (to refer Iran’s nuclear case to the UN Security Council),

Unfortunately, a group of bullies allows itself to deprive nations of their legal and natural rights. The Iranian nation is not frightened by the powers and their noise.

Our nation can’t give in to the coercion of some bully countries who imagine they are the whole world and see themselves equal to the entire globe.

Death to America!

the peaceful use of nuclear energy without a fuel cycle is an empty proposition.

[The United States and Israel] are cheeky humans, and they think that the entire world should obey them, … They destroy Palestinian families and expect nobody to object to them.

One of these things is that we will have access to the nuclear supply process.

The system is rapidly losing its efficiency and credibility, … Most former officials are watching in awe. An unknown and inexperienced movement has taken over and their incapability is gradually becoming evident.

As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map,

If they want to destroy the Iranian nation’s rights by that course, they will not succeed.

I heard the same news after I was elected (in June) and quite frankly I laughed at it,

We are very suspicious about the role of British forces in perpetrating such terrorist acts,

There was nothing new, and I just meant Islamic countries should not recognize a regime of terrorist nature,

This is a step forward, but this means that others are to produce the fuel and sell it to us to use and for us to be always dependent on others ? this is outside...

welcomes resuming negotiations on its nuclear program patiently.

We believe that atomic energy is a blessing given by God, … It’s an opportunity. It is a clean energy. It is a healthy energy.

They say that their countries are free but they are lying. They are held hostage by Zionists and the Americans and Europeans should pay for that.

The World without Zionism.

the most far reaching step outside the requirements of the NPT… in keeping with Iran’s inalienable right to have access to a nuclear fuel cycle.

For Israel should not be condemned, in the name of stability, to live in a region where despots threaten to ‘wipe them off the map,’

So I urge the U.N. not to bend to U.S. pressure,

you need diplomacy and not slogans.

Of course, they will use watever they have in their hand, which is the U.N. Security Council, and our nation has the means to defend and obtain its own rights. Do not doubt that our...

Some 60 years has passed since the end of World War II, why should the people of Germany and Palestine pay now for a war in which the current generation was not involved.

They have created a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets.

Our people are used to these kind of incidents, and our intelligence agents found the footprints of Britain in the same incidents before,

Protection of Iraq’s territorial integrity, independence and might is of special significance to Iran,

We will negotiate with all the countries who want to negotiate and I should make it clear that many countries are willing to hold talks with Iran just as they did in New York,

The Iranian nation won’t give a damn about such useless resolutions.

Why should Iran withdraw from its inalienable right? According to which law should we beg Europe for our rights?

any smart human being should use every resource in order to achieve his independence.

We totally support the political process that the Iraqi nation is undergoing that will… guarantee its territorial integrity, independence and progress.

we will reconsider our entire approach to the nuclear issue.

The UN Security Council should act in keeping with international accords and treaties. It must show if this international institute is indeed a guarantor of peace and security for all nations, or it has turned...

more resolute and logical than ever before.

As a developing state, Iran should speedily increase its investment in different energy-related sectors. The United States , despite having giant fossil fuel reserves, has made considerable amount of investment in the nuclear energy field,

The Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates its previously and repeatedly declared position that in accordance with our religious principles, pursuit of nuclear weapons is prohibited,
