We do not discount the possibility of US aggression under any circumstance; we stress at the same time that it would not be in the interest of the United States, nor us.

Iran has not excluded the possibility of an American aggression against it.

We are not seeking a confrontation but, if it is imposed on us, we are prepared for it. The consequences of such an attack will be very grave and they [the Americans] will not benefit from it.

Iran is determined to use peaceful nuclear technology and no intimidation or threat can make us give it up.

With wisdom we will get our rights, and if they create any trouble for us, they will regret it in the end and Iran will emerge triumphant.

The important matter is freedom. When the people choose what they want, it is good for them and for us.
