One can not impede scientific progress.


The system of domination is founded on depriving nations of their true identity. It seeks to deprive nations of their culture, identity, self-confidence and in this way dominate them.

Nuclear energy is the scientific achievement of the Iranian nation.

We are not afraid of nuclear weapons. The point is that if we had in fact wanted to build a nuclear bomb, we are brave enough to say that we want it. But we never do that.

We do believe that freedom, the right to choose, the right to vote, respect and justice is the fundamental right of all people. All people must obtain these rights.

For this reason, the expansion of relations with all countries is on the agenda of the Islamic Republic of Iran. I mean balanced relationships, based on mutual respect and observation of each other's rights.

The UN structure is one-sided, stacked against the world of Islam.

Global equations undergo changes, this is their nature.

We desire an expansion of relations with regional states and the establishment of extensive public contacts.

People should have freedom in their pilgrimages and tours. They should come and visit historical monuments and sites - let's say the sites around Iran - where they can easily engage in wide- scale contacts with others.

Technical knowledge has now become an integral aspect of the Iranian psyche.

Our enemies can deal a blow to us any time they wish. They did not wait for permission to do this. They do not deal a blow with prior notice. They do not take action because they can't.

Our nation is today a powerful nation.

Fortunately, Iranians are politically active worldwide.
