“Rulers whose hearts do not beat with love for humankind and who have abandoned ideas of justice can never provide humankind with the promise of peace and friendship. By the grace of God, Marxism is no more; it is history now. And the unhindered growth of capitalism will certainly meet the same fate because, based on the divine tradition of a principle in the Holy Koran, the deceitful one, like a bubble on the surface of water, will disappear. Only that which eternally serves the interests of human societies survives. We must therefore all remain vigilant to prevent the pursuit of colonialism and discriminatory and inhuman goals disguised under slogans for change or in any new format. The world needs to undergo fundamental changes, and we must all engage collectively to bring them about in the right way.”

“Liberalism and capitalism, in particular the types that seek to dominate the world and to alienate people from spiritual and moral values, will never bring humankind happiness, since they are the principal source of all disasters, wars, poverty and deprivation. We have all seen how unfair economic structures controlled by certain political interests have been used to plunder the national wealth of countries for the benefit of a group of corrupt businesses. Existing structures are thus incapable of addressing the challenges that we face. The political and economic structures created after the Second World War that sought to dominate the world have failed, in short, to promote justice and lasting security.”

“It is not acceptable that the United Nations and the Security Council, whose decisions should represent all nations and Governments through the application of democratic and popular methods of decision-making, be dominated by a few Governments who seek to serve their own interests. Above all, in a world where culture, ideas and public opinion should be the only determining factors, the present situation cannot continue and a fundamental change seems inevitable. We must strive to establish a new world system. Secondly, any change must be deep-seated both in theory and in practice, encompassing all spheres of our life. Outdated methods of government that have caused the current problems in society cannot be used to bring about change and create a better world.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“The logic of coercion and intimidation will have dire consequences and exacerbate current global problems. It is not acceptable that the military budgets of some Governments far exceed the budgets of entire 09-52228 34 countries of the world. Some countries export billions of dollars of arms every year, stockpile chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, establish military bases or have a military presence in other countries while accusing others of militarism, and mobilize all their global resources to impede the scientific and technological progress of other nations under the pretext of countering arms proliferation.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“A country cannot remain under military occupation in the name of the fight against terrorism and drug trafficking, when the production of illicit drugs has grown, terrorism has increased and tightened its grip, thousands of innocent people have been killed, injured or displaced, infrastructure has been destroyed and regional security has been seriously jeopardized. Yet those who have created the current disastrous situation continue to blame others. How can they talk about friendship and solidarity with other nations while they expand their military bases in various parts of the world, including Latin America. That situation cannot continue. It is increasingly impossible to promote expansionist and inhuman policies on the basis of militaristic logic.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“It is unacceptable that nations several thousand miles from the Middle East send their troops to intervene militarily and to promote war, bloodshed, aggression, terror and fear in our region, the Middle East, while brushing aside the protests of nations in the region concerned about their future and their national security, thereby violating peace and interfering in the affairs of others. Such standpoints are baffling. We only have to look at the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

“They are not even allowed to rebuild their homes, destroyed during the 22-day barbaric attacks of the Zionist regime, with winter approaching, while the aggressors and their supporters deceitfully continue their rhetorical defence of human rights in order to put others under pressure. It is unacceptable for a small minority to dominate the politics, economy and culture of large parts of the world through complex systems, establishing a de facto new form of slavery, and harming the reputation of other nations, even European nations and the United States, to achieve its racist goals.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“How can it be possible that inhuman policies in Palestine have driven the entire population of the country from their homeland for over 60 years by means of force and coercion, attacking them with all types of weapons, including banned weapons, and denying them their legitimate right of self-defence, and, to the astonishment of the international community, calling the occupiers peacemakers and portraying the victims as terrorists? How can the crimes of the occupiers against defenceless women and children and the destruction of their homes, farms, hospitals and schools be supported unconditionally by certain Governments and, at the same time, oppressed men and women be subjected the harshest economic blockade, depriving them of resources to meet their basic needs, including food, water and medicine, and leading to genocide?”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“I would like to say again that the time has passed for a group of people who believe that they alone can define concepts such as democracy and freedom and put forth the criteria for those definitions while simultaneously violating the very principles to which they claim to aspire. The continuation of Governments is based on the rule of the people. The development of nations and increasing freedom worldwide will no longer allow them to continue their hypocrisy and vicious attitudes. For those reasons, most nations, including the people of the United States, are waiting for real and profound change. They have welcomed and will continue to welcome change.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“It is no longer possible to humiliate nations or to impose double standard on the world community. It is necessary to delegitimize and reject any approach that holds up the realization of the interests of certain Powers as the only measure of democracy or employs despicable forms of intimidation and deceit in the name of freedom and democratic practices. Approaches by which dictators are portrayed as democrats lack legitimacy and must be totally rejected. Time has come to an end for those who define democracy and freedom and set standards while they themselves are the first to violate those fundamental principles. They can in fact no longer be both judge and executioner or challenge real democratically established Governments.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“The present inequitable and unfavourable conditions run counter to the very nature of humankind and move in a direction that contravenes the truth and the goal behind the creation of the world. It is no longer possible to inject trillions of dollars of unreal wealth into the world economy simply by printing worthless paper assets or by 33 09-52228 transferring inflation and social and economic problems to others by creating severe budget deficits. The engine of unbridled capitalism, with its unfair system of thought, has reached the end of road and is unable to move. The era of capitalist thinking and the imposition of one’s thoughts on the international community, which is intended to dominate the world in the name of globalization, as well as the age of setting up empires, is over.”

“This is an outlook that respects all human beings, nations and venerable cultures in defiance of all types of discrimination in the world. It is also one that commits itself to an ongoing fight to promote equality for all before the law on the basis of justice and fraternity while laying a solid foundation to guarantee equal access for all human beings in their quest to excel in knowledge and science. Time and again, I have emphasized the need to make fundamental changes in the current outlook on the world and on humankind, so as to be able to create a brighter tomorrow. Today, I wish to share with the Assembly a few points about the changes that should take place. First, the continuation of the current circumstances in the world is clearly impossible.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“I have also talked about the two conflicting outlooks that prevail in our world. One is based on the predominance of its materialistic interests through spreading inequality and oppression, poverty and deprivation, aggression, occupation and deception and looks to bring the entire world under its control and to impose its will on other nations. That outlook has produced nothing but frustration, disappointment and a dark future for humankind as a whole. The other outlook is one that espouses a belief in the oneness of the Almighty God, follows the teachings of His messengers, respects human dignity and seeks to build a secure world for all members of the human community in which everybody can equally enjoy the blessings of sustainable peace and spirituality.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“I thank Almighty God for granting me the opportunity once again to address this important international forum. At the outset, I wish to begin by congratulating Mr. Ali Treki on his assumption of the presidency of the General Assembly at its sixty-fourth session, and to wish him every success. I would also like to extend my thanks to Mr. Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, President of the General Assembly at its sixty-third session, for his excellent stewardship of the work of the Assembly during his term. Over the past four years, I have spoken about the main challenges facing our world. I have talked about the underlying causes of those challenges and about the need for world Powers to review their outlook and work out new mechanisms to address the pressing international problems before us.”
2009-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 64 (2009)
“Let us, hand in hand, expand the thought of resistance to evil and the minority of those who are ill- wishers. Let us support goodness and the majority of people who are good and the embodiment of absolute good that is the Imam of Time, the Promised One who will come accompanied by Jesus Christ, and accordingly design and implement just and humanistic mechanisms for regulating the constructive relationships between nations and Governments. May the great Almighty deliver the saviour of nations and put an end to the sufferings of humankind and bring forth justice, beauty and love. Let us have a proper share in the establishment of that illuminated and promised divine age.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“With the grace of God Almighty, the existing pillars of the oppressive system are crumbling. Great developments in favour of humankind, as well as its true and real rights, are on the way. A golden and brilliant future is awaiting humankind. A global community filled with justice, friendship, brotherhood and welfare is at hand, as I have elaborated — a community that will tread the path of beauty and love under the rule of the righteous and perfect human being, the one promised by all divine prophets and the one who is the true lover of humankind; a community that will be devoid of all fear, despair and privation. Such a community will soon be ours. The community promised by the great divine prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ and Muhammad is about to materialize.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“Be aware that living with obedience to God and carrying out His orders, having compassion for people and striving for the fulfilment of justice is to your advantage too. I invite you to return to the path of God, the prophets and the people of the world, as well as to truth and justice. The only route to salvation is a divine straight path. Otherwise, God’s hand of power will emerge from the sleeve of oppressed nations and will make your life difficult, and will put an end to your hegemony. Let us love the peoples of the world and respect their rights. Rectify past behaviour. That will benefit you and the human community. The Iranian people are prepared, along with other nations, to help you be rescued from your current situation and to establish peace and prosperity. Fortuitously, opportunities are accessible.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“Today, the Zionist regime is on a definite slope to collapse, and there is no way for it to get out of the cesspool it and its supporters have created. The Islamic Republic of Iran, while fully respecting the resistance of the oppressed people of Palestine and expressing its all-out support for it, submits to the Secretary-General of the United Nations its humane solution, based on a free referendum in Palestine to determine and establish the type of State in the entire Palestinian lands. The American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road, and its next rulers must limit their interference to their own borders. Today, the thought of hegemony quickly becomes a demerit. I should now like to say a few words to expansionist Governments ruling global relations.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“Of course, with the grace of God Almighty, a hopeful trend is flourishing in the heart and soul of human societies. The universal eagerness for justice, purity, love for others, monotheism and the quest for perfection is clearly and increasingly on the rise. A universal resistance to the acquisitiveness, aggression and selfishness of the bullying Powers is being formed. 08-51606 12 Today, the bullying Powers’ thoughts, practices and strategies are rejected by nations and Governments, and all are seeking to establish new human relations based on justice, with a view to attaining prosperity, perfection, security and sustainable welfare. That is the very auspicious phenomenon that all the traditions of creation and the ruling laws of the universe emphasize and support.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“They are the hindrances to the realization of material and spiritual prosperity and to security, peace and brotherhood among nations. I explicitly state that the Iranian people and the overwhelming majority of peoples and Governments are against those deeds and perspectives of the world- domineering Powers. The establishment of justice requires people who have achieved moderation and justice inside themselves, restrained their domineering attitudes and actualized their attributes of self-sacrifice and are at the service of humankind. The complete and full-scale manifestation of such characteristics can happen only under the rule of the righteous and perfect human being who is obedient to God and who is promised by the divine prophets.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“That means that the great people of America and various nations of Europe need to obey the demands and wishes of a small number of acquisitive and invasive people. Those nations are spending their dignity and resources on the crimes, occupation and threats of the Zionist network against their will. All that is due to the manner in which the immoral and the powerful view the world, humankind, freedom, obeisance to God and justice. The thoughts and deeds of those who think they are superior to others and consider others to be second class and inferior, who intend to remain out of the divine circle and to be the absolute slaves of their materialistic and selfish desires, who intend to expand their aggressive and domineering natures, constitute the roots of the problems in societies today.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“The dignity, integrity and rights of the American and European people are being played with by a small but deceitful number of people called Zionists. Although they are a miniscule minority, they have been dominating an important portion of the financial and monetary centres, as well as the political decision- making centres of some European countries and the United States, in a deceitful, complex and furtive manner. It is deeply disastrous to witness that some presidential or premier nominees in some big countries have to visit those people, take part in their gatherings and swear their allegiances and commitment to their interests in order to attain financial or media support.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“The time has come for IAEA to present a clear report to the international community on its monitoring of the disarmament of those nuclear Powers and their nuclear activities, and for a disarmament committee to be established by independent States to monitor the disarmament of those nuclear Powers. Theories of development that are in line with the hegemonic system and not in accordance with the true needs of humankind and human societies have become repetitive and bland tools for assimilating economies, expanding hegemonic domination and destroying the environment and the social solidarity of nations. There is no end in sight to this. Poverty, hunger and deprivation are hurting more than one billion of the world’s population and have dashed their hopes for a decent life.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“Moreover, the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were perpetrated by one of them. Indeed, they are not against weapons, but they oppose the progress of other nations, and tend to monopolize technologies and to use those monopolies to impose their will on other nations. However, it is very natural that the great Iranian people, with their trust in God, with determination and steadfastness and with the support of their friends, will resist the bullying and have defended and will continue to defend their rights. The Iranian nation is for dialogue, but it has not accepted and will not accept illegal demands.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“With regard to Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme, despite the inalienable right of all nations, including the Iranian nation, to produce nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes, and despite such facts as the transparency of all Iranian activities and our country’s full cooperation with the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Agency’s repeated confirmation of the fact that Iran’s activities are peaceful, a few bullying Powers have sought to put hurdles in the way of the peaceful nuclear activities of the Iranian nation by exerting political and economic pressure on Iran and threatening and pressuring IAEA. Those are the same Powers that produce new generations of lethal nuclear arms and possess stockpiles of nuclear weapons that no international organization is monitoring.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“The never-ending arms race, the proliferation and stockpiling of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, and the threats to use them and the 11 08-51606 establishment of missile defence systems have made the situation unstable.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“By starting civil wars in large countries, including the Sudan, the disintegration of those countries is planned in order to serve the interests of some corrupt Powers. When there is national resistance, the leaders of the resistance are put under pressure by legal mechanisms created by the very same Powers. In Latin America, people find their security, national interests and cultures seriously endangered by the menacing shadow of alien domineering Governments, and even by the embassies of some empires. The lives, property and rights of the people of Georgia, Ossetia and Abkhazia are victims of the tendencies and provocation of NATO and certain Western Powers and the underhanded actions of the Zionists.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“It is natural that some United Nations resolutions that have addressed the plight of the Palestinian people have been relegated to the archives unnoticed. In Afghanistan, the production of narcotics has multiplied since the presence of NATO forces began. Domestic conflicts continue, terrorism is spreading and innocent people are bombarded on a daily basis in streets, markets, and schools and at wedding ceremonies. The people of Afghanistan are the victims of the willingness of NATO member States to dominate the regions surrounding India, China and South Asia. The Security Council cannot do anything about it because some of those NATO members also happen to be the major decision-makers in the Council. In Africa, there are efforts to re-establish the relationships of the colonial era.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“The United Nations is not capable enough to solve the problems and to stop aggression, occupation and imposition. In Palestine, 60 years of carnage and invasion is still continuing at the hands of some criminal and occupying Zionists. They have forged a regime by collecting people from various parts of the world and bringing them to another people’s land by displacing, detaining and killing the true owners of that land. With advance notice, they invade, assassinate and maintain food and medicine blockades, while some hegemonic and bullying Powers support them. The Security Council cannot do anything and sometimes, under pressure from a few bullying Powers, even paves the way for supporting those Zionist murderers.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“Let us look at the situation in the world today. Iraq was attacked under the false pretext of uncovering weapons of mass destruction and overthrowing a dictator. The dictator was toppled and weapons of mass destruction were not uncovered. A democratic government is established by the votes of the people, but after six years the occupiers are still there. They insist on imposing colonial agreements on the people of Iraq by keeping them under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. Millions of people have been killed or displaced, and the occupiers, with no sense of shame, are still seeking to solidify their position in the political geography of the region and to dominate oil resources. They have no respect for the people of Iraq and they disregard any dignity, rights or status for them.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“However, as long as the world is construed as closed, limited and aimless; as long as eternal life is considered imaginary and illusory, while the afterlife and the judgment day, as well as reward and punishment, are thought of as fictional and unreal; as long as morals and commitment to them are called backwardness, while immorality, lies, deceit and selfishness are considered desirable and humans are limited to a materialistic life in this world; as long as attempts are made to replace obedience to God and following His prophets and true freedom with servitude to materialistic tendencies, animal instincts and the oppression of others, while contention reaches its pinnacle; as long as the aggressors, because of their financial, political and propaganda powers, not only escape punishment but even claim righteousness; and as long as wars are started and nations enslaved in order to win votes in elections, not only will the problems of the global community remain unsolved, but they will be increasingly exacerbated.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“Without it, the order of the universe will collapse and the opportunity for perfection will fade away. Without justice, it would be impossible for human society to taste real peace, beauty, joy and happiness. Justice is the main pillar of social life, and without it social life cannot continue or grow. Humans need to know God in order to realize a prosperous society in this world as well as to strive for a beautiful eternal life. To that end, they first have to know themselves and strive for loftiness in themselves and their societies.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“The essence of all divine religions and obeisance to God and true freedom is disassociating from oppressors and instead obeying and worshiping God. God is omniscient and knows all that is revealed or kept secret, and He is kind and merciful. All creatures are humble before Him and resign themselves to His will. God is alive and is the Creator of the universe and all life. God loves His creatures and desires nothing but goodness, blessings and perfection for them, and is against bullying, injustice, selfishness and domination. With regard to justice, it is the foundation of the creation of humankind and the whole universe. Justice is tantamount to placing every phenomenon in its own place and providing humans with opportunities to 08-51606 10 actualize all their divine capabilities.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“Obeisance to God means confessing to monotheism, obeying His commands, and being free from ungodly worship. Obeisance to God means the acceptance of the absolute truth, the absolute light and the absolute beauty. Obeisance to God means abandoning selfishness, animal instincts, power-seeking and aggression and surrendering to righteousness, justice, love and perfection. In that way, humans can achieve their true freedom and flourish. They can grow and manifest divine attributes, have affection for others, stand up for justice, fear no power or threat and defend the oppressed. In such an environment, one’s freedom will not impinge on any others’. Contention and conflict are characteristic of materialistic freedom and animal instinct.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“He made humans His vicegerents on Earth and has asked them, on the one hand, to make Earth prosper by using their God- given potentials, to prepare the ground for the growth of divine attributes in all humans and to provide all with a life full of beauty, amity, freedom, justice and goodness; and, on the other hand, in pursuance of that path, to prepare for a prosperous, everlasting life endowed by God’s mercy. God has obligated humans to live divinely and socially, for it is only through social life and interactions with others that divine attributes can emerge. With regard to obeisance to God, God Almighty has tied the perfection and true freedom of humans to the devotion and obedience to Himself. True freedom and obedience to God are in balance, and in fact are two sides of the same coin.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“With regard to humankind, God created the world for humans, and humans for Himself. He created humans from mud and in the soil, but He did not want them to remain in the soil or with animal instincts. He kindled the light of guidance in their souls and asked them to rise from the soil to the heavens and to Him with the help of wisdom, prophets and perfect men. The world will ultimately disappear, but God has created humankind for eternity and has made it a manifestation of Himself. Creativity, mercifulness, kindness, knowledge, wisdom, zeal, compassion, splendor, justice, bounteousness, generosity, greatness, love, glory, dignity, forgiveness, insight, kingship and all other goodness and beauty are attributes of God. God did not create humans for aggression, bloodshed, rancour, selfishness and destruction.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“The world, humankind, freedom, obeisance to God, and justice have been of the utmost importance to humans throughout history. God Almighty purposefully created the world. The world is the bedrock for the evolution and growth of a creature called man, and the laws governing the world and all other creatures are at the service of humankind’s quest for loftiness. The world should provide the needed opportunities for the fulfilment of the purpose behind humankind’s creation. No phenomenon, creature or, indeed, anything has been created in vain. Together they all pave the way for the flourishing of humankind in a complex and purposeful system, and they are each one of the signs of God Almighty. All are His creations and He is the sole creator and ruler of the world. All existence, including power, knowledge and wealth, comes from Him.”

“However, at the same time an encouraging trend, originating in the thoughts and beliefs of peoples, has blossomed and become stronger. Against the backdrop of the despair caused by the new developments, that trend has ignited a glimmer of hope in the hearts of men for a brilliant, desirable and beautiful future. Today, I would like to talk to the Assembly about the main reasons behind the conditions ruling the world and the means to address them. Of course, the Assembly is already aware of what I am talking about, but I think it is necessary to remind ourselves. It seems that the roots of problems lie in the way one views and perceives the world and humankind, as well as in the important issues of freedom, obeisance to God, and justice.”
2008-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 63 (2008)
“I have also talked about unjust systems governing the world; pressures exerted by some Powers seeking to trample the rights of other nations; oppression imposed on the majority of the global community, especially on the peoples of Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Africa, Latin America and Asia; about challenges we are faced with, such as efforts to shatter the sanctity of families, destroy cultures, humiliate lofty values, neglect commitments and expand the shadow of threats; as well as about the arms race and the unfairness and inability of the systems governing world affairs to reform the status quo. 9 08-51606 With the emergence of various new developments, the debility of existing mechanisms has been revealed even more starkly.”

“I am grateful to the Almighty for granting me another opportunity to be present at this world Assembly. In the past three years, I have talked to the Assembly about great hopes in the bright future of human society and about some solutions for achieving sustainable peace and expanding love, compassion and cooperation.”

“In the company of all believers, justice-seekers and benefactors, he will establish a bright future and fill the world with justice and beauty. That is the promise of God; therefore it will be fulfilled. Let us play a part in the fulfilment of all that glory and beauty. I wish for a bright future for all human beings, the dawn of the liberation of and freedom for all humans, the rule of love and affection all around the world, as well as the elimination of oppression, hatred and violence a wish that I expect to be fulfilled in the near future.”

“Tenderhearted and humanity-loving Governments will replace the aggressive and domineering. Human dignity will be regained. The pleasing aroma of justice will permeate the world and people will live together in a brotherly and affectionate manner. Striving in that way to surrender rule to the righteous and perfect human, the promised one, is indeed the final cure for the wounds of humanity, the solution of all problems, and the establishment of love, beauty, justice and a dignified life throughout the world. That belief and endeavour is the key to unity and constructive interaction among nations, countries, the people of the world and all true justice-seekers. Without a doubt, the promised one who is the ultimate saviour, along with Jesus Christ and other holy prophets, will come.”
2007-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 62 (2007)
“Humanity has passed a perilous precipice and the age of monotheism, purity, affinity, respect for others, justice and true peace- loving has commenced. It is the divine promise that the truth will be victorious and the Earth will be inherited by the righteous. Those who are free, believers and the people of the world should put their trust in God. Those who crave lofty values, wherever they are, should try to prepare the grounds for the fulfilment of that great divine promise by serving the people and seeking justice. The era of darkness will end, prisoners will return home, the occupied lands will be freed, Palestine and Iraq will be liberated from the domination of the occupiers, and the peoples of America and Europe will be free of the pressures exerted by the Zionists.”

“God destroyed them because of their sins, and nobody could protect them against the will of God. These Powers have to know that thoughts and methods based on oppression and injustice are doomed to failure. Do they not see the signs of vigilance and resistance based on monotheism, philanthropy and the justice-seeking spirit of the nations of the world? Do they not notice that we are nearing the sunset of the time of empires? I hope that this invitation will have a practical answer. Peoples and Governments are not obliged to obey the injustice of certain Powers. Those Powers, for the reasons already mentioned, have lost the competence to lead the world. I officially declare that the age of relations arising from the Second World War and of materialistic thought based on arrogance and domination is well over now.”

“If they accept this invitation, they will be saved, and if they do not, the same calamities that befell the people of the distant past will befall them as well. According to the holy Quran: One who does not answer the divine call should not think that he has weakened God on Earth; he has no companion but God and he is clearly engulfed by darkness”. They have nothing of their own and cannot escape from the dominion of the rule of God and his will. At this important gathering, I have to remind them of the following words of the Almighty, which are mentioned in the Holy Quran: Do they not look at the powers and Governments which came before them? If the people of the past had actually possessed something, they would have kept it and would not have let you possess it now.”
2007-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 62 (2007)
“Is it not high time for these Powers to return from the path of arrogance and obedience to Satan to the path of faith in God? Would they not like to be cleansed of their impurities, submit to the will of God and believe in him? Faith in God means believing in honesty, purity, justice and compassion for others. They can be certain that they will benefit from purity, honesty, justice and loving and respecting human dignity. They can also be certain that such values are, more and more, considered appropriate, valuable and beautiful by the nations of the world. This is the invitation of all the divine prophets from Adam to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ and Mohammed, peace be upon him.”

“Now I would like to address those who have shown hostility towards the Iranian nation for some five years and who have offended and accused my people, who have contributed to the history and civilization of the world. I advise them to learn from history and their recent actions. They badly mistreated the great Iranian nation, but they should be careful not to inflict the same on other members of international organizations, and not to sacrifice the dignity of international organizations for the sake of their unlawful wishes. Today the nations of the world are wide awake and resistant. If those Powers reform themselves, the whole world will be reformed. Nations are inherently good and can coexist peacefully. Those Powers should endeavour to serve their own peoples; others do not need them.”

“I would like to thank all the nations and countries that, during this difficult period, defended the legal rights of my nation and motherland. I also want to express our appreciation to the members of the Non-Aligned Movement, our friends in the Security Council and in the IAEA Board of Governors, the committed and law-abiding experts of the Agency and its Director General for standing by the law. I would also like to announce that, unlike the monopolistic Powers, the Iranian nation is ready to offer to other members its experiences in the form of educational programmes, based on its obligations under the Agency’s Statute and under Agency supervision.”

“Fortunately, the IAEA has recently tried to regain its legal role as supporter of the rights of its members while supervising nuclear activities. We see this as a correct approach adopted by the Agency. Previously, they illegally insisted on politicizing the Iranian nation’s nuclear case, but today, because of the resistance of the Iranian nation, the issue is back with the Agency, and I officially announce that, in our opinion, the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed and has turned into an ordinary Agency matter. Today, many important questions have been raised about the nuclear activities of certain Powers within the IAEA, which should be dealt with properly. Of course, Iran has always been, and will be, prepared to have constructive talks with all parties.”

“Therefore, Iran decided to pursue the issue through its appropriate legal path, one that runs through the IAEA, and to disregard unlawful and political impositions by the arrogant Powers. In the past two years, abusing the Security Council, the arrogant Powers have repeatedly accused Iran and have even made military threats and imposed illegal sanctions against it. However, by the grace of faith in God and national unity, Iran has moved forward step by step, and now our country is recognized as one with the capacity for industrial-scale fuel cycle production for peaceful uses. Unfortunately, the Security Council, in dealing with this obvious legal issue, was influenced by some bullying Powers and failed to uphold justice and protect the rights of the Iranian people.”
