Is there art that is more beautiful, more divine, and more eternal that the art of martyrdom? A nation with martyrdom knows no captivity. Those who wish to undermine this principle undermines the foundations of our independence and national security . . . The message of the (Islamic) Revolution is global, and is not restricted to a specific place or time . . . Allah willing, Islam will conquer what? It will conquer all the mountain tops of the world.

All peoples must be respected, and they must all be granted the same rights.

The UN structure is one-sided, stacked against the world of Islam.

The Zionist regime is a dried up and rotten tree which will be annihilated with one storm.

We desire an expansion of relations with regional states and the establishment of extensive public contacts.

A sovereign, united and strong Iraq is beneficial for everyone.

I want to tell them (western countries) just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and today does not exist, so will the Zionist regime soon be wiped out.
