BBC NEWS | Middle East | Khamenei speech: Excerpts: "Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, addressed the nation on Sunday in a speech marking the 17th anniversary of the death of his predecessor and the leader of Iran's Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini.
Here are excerpts from Mr Khamenei's speech, which was broadcast live on state television."
NUCLEAR WEAPONS"We have no problem with the world. We are no threat whatsoever to the world and the world knows it...
The other suggestion is that Iran is seeking a nuclear bomb. This is an irrelevant and wrong statement, it is a sheer lie. We do not need a nuclear bomb. We do not have any objectives or aspirations for which we will need to use a nuclear bomb. We consider using nuclear weapons against Islamic rules...
We think imposing the costs of building and maintaining nuclear weapons on our nation is unnecessary. Building and maintaining such weapons is costly. In no way do we deem it correct to impose these costs on the people."
US ADMINISTRATION"Your government today is the most hated government in the history of the United States. They announced it to the world in their own opinion polls...
Compare this with our own government. Our government is one of the most popular governments since the [1906] constitutional revolution."
Lyrics to all the hits!!
