We did not treat the Americans badly. They left Iran in a relaxed mood. The embassy was active here after the revolution. We didn't have any problem with them. They started it.

If we have any problems, it's always with the government of the United States.

The United States is a big country but unfortunately it seems it has the brain of a little bird not befitting the greatness of the country.

I think the elections have gone well, although there is so much insecurity in Iraq. So far during the counting of ballots, there has not been a significant complaint. We have to wait to see what the outcome of the counting is.

I think that Americans should gradually begin to adopt positive behavior rather than doing evil. They should not expect an immediate reaction in return for their positive measures. It will take time.

The possibility of a war under the current circumstances is not far-fetched and there is some evidence for that.

There is no doubt that America is a superpower of the world and we cannot ignore them.
