It began early in the revolution. It was a process that was unfolding on a daily basis. We expected the system to be dispensing justice, but every day that passed by, we recognized that the justice we expected and hoped for was not about to be achieved.

I am only speaking of my own behalf.

Let me begin by saying not only you can't have democracy with $75 million. You can't even have it with $750 billion.

We can certainly be on the same side and the same front with the workers and with the oppressed people of Iran. We can certainly be on the same front with them.

I did join the Revolutionary Guard, but I was simply a simple Revolutionary Guard, never a commander.

You cannot bring democracy to a country by attacking it.

The solutions to the problems of the distraught lower strata of society are problems that can only be solved in the context of an overall political, cultural, economic development.
