during our war with iraq saddam's regime used chemical weapons against iran but we did not respond in kind and surrounds policies based on shari'a law which forbids us from producing storing or using nuclear weapons at least the foundation for our constitution of our policies and our views. the west has insisted on establishing control over your anyone in richmond in iran while iran remains reluctant how long can this situation continue. everybody should realize that iran has reached a point in its nuclear research where it is impossible to stop or go back since the reigning nuclear technology has gone beyond up point nuclear technologies have developed into a domestic industry in iran spreading all across the country and becoming a fact of life for many arenas now that we have educated and trained thousands of nuclear scientists how can the west or the entire world stop us from enriching uranium this is become a fact of reality as for how the situation is going to develop that is normal in

that discussion dialogue and negotiation we see it as a test for ourselves for our patients and insurance throughout our history we have managed to prove to the world that iran does not give up in the face of suppression and it is still a ts no threats and no pressure can shake our sovereignty and independence we are ready to pay any price and withstand anything let the west come and see whether iran has backed off in the face of pressure and sanctions or moved further on they will see with their own eyes that iran has moved ahead a great deal that is no point in being enemies with iran which i tell them that the more they threaten and pushes the more determined we become to move on. when is a nuclear power plant in bushehr going to reach capacity that will ship us for a share all works there were over when vapor was supplied to the reactors core and the turbine began operation all these stages are passing well this elase me to see that the station will begin operation in test mode it will generate electricity and

disputed by national power grids but as for the station itself everything is complete and i don't see any problems with regards to its operation iran is using its own experience to develop the reactor which is planning to launch in the next three or four years this reactor can generate forty five megawatts. what decision did you make following russia's proposal to settle the nuclear dosia issue what are the main provisions of this proposal what do you think about it. my . first of all i would like to thank russia for its constructive efforts aimed at finding a settlement to iran's nuclear program as far as we are concerned we consider this proposal to be a step forward for breaking the deadlock that's why we view russia's proposal as a positive step however while iran seeks a new initiative to settle its nuclear problem the west continues claims that iran is producing missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads this kind of behavior

convinces us that the west does not want a fair solution that it wants to iran to succumb to western influence and obey its orders but iran is ready for negotiation and cooperation with any parties in accordance with. rules based on a new initiative to be put forward. what was moscow's rationale for supporting around on its nuclear question what common interests are there between russia and iran if we need. him petting him so you know clearly russia is a very important neighbor of iran and in my opinion iran is the most significant neighbor for russia it's a reality that history confirms looking back would realize that the u.s. used all its ways and means in its attempts to dismantle the soviet union but today russia is a strong country in the international arena from political economic and military viewpoints and since the u.s. wants to consolidate its dominance in the world it intends to tie the hands of or

defeat its only military rival russia therefore it has expanded needles suite of influence in order to approach russia's borders why they want to exert pressure in russia because there are no other countries around russia's borders if you run that we define to the west establishing western rule over iran would solve this problem for them this would allow the need to encircle russia completely let us try and imagine what would happen if iran were to fall back into western influence in this instance and nato would completely surround russia therefore iran is vitally important for russia and vice versa i will. that russia and iran need each other but russia may be concerned that iran can return under the western influence i want to tell our russian friends this will not happen i am very optimistic about the prospects of russia iran relations and the future will prove me right. does iran believe that moscow support will continue particularly with regard to iran's nuclear profile. we are convinced that russia will keep supporting iran's position

we have no worries about it but. what can you say regarding the us relations does iran intend to resume and. we have stated time and again that iran wants to have good reasonable relations with all countries except for the zionist state as for our relations with washington they will depend upon us actions towards iran if they remain hostile there will be no relations full stop however if washington changes after two toward iran and replace this is still a he with a sense of equality respect for iran's sovereignty and independence than the essence of our relations will chains unfortunately there is no evidence that the us is ready to put an end to his enmity against iran america's actions in its wars against afghanistan and iraq speak for themselves innocent civilians are being killed and most can't trust certainly what i am seeing does not apply to the american people and i respect the people of america and the american public for

their enormous contribution to global industrial and technological development therefore i address my words. and i believe that its policies and reasonable are based on the logic of force this is absolutely unacceptable to run a mother let's take a look at what's going on in syria how is the situation in syria different from that in your own oppa. let me add that. as far as serious concern we should carry out an accurate and reasonable analysis of what has been happening in the country iran supports any mass revolutionary action as long as the pursuit legitimate demands as was the case and tunisia egypt yemen or any other country but only on condition the such protest that it should be free of foreign interference if iran does not tolerate meddling in other country's internal affairs with regard to its own foreign policies and we maintain the same approach of these of the other players if there are mass protests in syria and

their demands are legitimate and will stand by them but when we see the deliberate misrepresentation of the syrian people's demands of external forces that is unacceptable in iran and flatly condemn such action we see here is a clear picture form of over and seven colonialist the interests of the present government of serbia and particularly president assad had pledged to ensure the citizens' rights and they have delivered on a lot of other promises syria is currently in the middle of crucial political and economic reforms that are yet to lead evaluated i believe that with wise leadership from bashar al assad that syria will eventually come out of this trial even stronger and will regain its stability and prosperity syria plays a very important role in the region it has significant influence not i'm being at the forefront of resistance against the zionist state and the pressure cut in the exerts on syria is directly related to this country's role in such resistance you can be sure that if syria were to manifestly give up this rule the pressure and the

sanctions against that would cease immediately but i'm sure that syria will make it through this difficult period and preserve its position in the region washington has accused iran of sending a special squad to help suppress the process in syria what is your response to such a claim washington. about how. washington blames iran and islam in general for every. thing that is happening in the world the u.s. behaves as an aggressive power and it seeks to condemn any nation that opposes it i believe in all the current crises and tribulations and such nations therefore iran he's on the attention of the accusations coming from washington. palestinians are currently intending to persuade the international community to recognize the palestinian state in its nine hundred sixty seven borders what is iran's attitude towards this issue to support the palestinians and oppose us.

we are convinced that the whole of the palestinian land belongs to all palestinians and we will not accept anything that would involve a mere part of palestine we would only accept a single and divided palestine in iran's opinion palestine belongs to the palestinians began a list of where they are muslims christians or g.d.s. and if they are for we welcome and support any measures aimed at bringing about a palestine for all palestinians. what is a correct progress in restoring relations between terror and. we have had successful negotiations with a number of egyptian politicians egypt confirmed that they are willing to restore relations with us tehran considers these statements to be a testimony of good will and we want to see i expect our relations with egypt to return to normal soon by way of exchanging embassadors and reestablishing diplomatic missions in our respective capitals.
