• Irán es un país poderoso. Irán es un país grande, con una gran población, recursos naturales, recursos humanos. Pero somos un país que está contento con su tamaño, contento con su geografía. No hemos participado en ninguna aventura militar en los últimos 250 años. No vemos nada de esto como un intento de Irán de dominar esta región. Vemos que hay gente que entra en pánico en nuestra región y creemos que no hay necesidad de entrar en pánico. Estamos dispuestos a trabajar con todos nuestros vecinos para garantizar la seguridad y la prosperidad de nuestra región.

• You know where the people who killed people in San Bernardino came from. You know where people who did 9/11 came from. You know where the people who did Paris came from, where they transited, where they went. None of them even set foot in Iran. So why are you punishing people who are visiting Iran for that? . . . We're not going to radicalize them. We never have. Your allies have radicalized people who visited.

Whereas many people have been targeted by the nationals of your allies, people visiting your allies, and people transiting the territory of, again, your allies. So you're looking at the wrong address.
