Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Today, the Muslim world is the poorest of the global powers.

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.

Global equations undergo changes, this is their nature.

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

The United States' administrations... must recognize that Iran is a big power. Having said that, we consider ourselves to be a human force and a cultural power and hence a friend of other nations. We have never sought to dominate others or to violate the rights of any other country.

I'm not in charge of judgments in Iran. The judicial system in Iran is an independent body of its own, and it follows the laws, and it must operate according to the law.

The best world is one in which all countries cooperate with one another to kind of meet each other's needs and be partners in the process.

Those who insist on having hostilities with us, kill and destroy the option of friendship with us in the future, which is unfortunate because it is clear the future belongs to Iran and that enmities will be fruitless.

One can not impede scientific progress.
