A good American showed himself to the Iranians in the very first strike,

when they killed their children in a school. American love went on for forty days,

killing Iranians. Iranians hate the United States as a result of this war.

The first time democracy was stolen from the Iranians,

it was stolen by American hands in’ 53, when they toppled the government

and brought whom?

The American shah who was loyal to them,

and what did they establish for him? The SAVAK apparatus that

destroyed Iranian society, it used to repress with…

I mean, it was founded by the CIA and Mossad.

Why? There was no military intelligence service in Iran.

They set it up to suppress the people, a tool in the shah’s hand. All this talk,

this concern for the people, I mean, this kind of talk might be

put forward in the United States, inside this American bubble. In this region, sir,

people know what your policy is.

We have seen the results of your policy against our people in Gaza, seventy thousand

were killed with your weapons. The Iraqis have seen it, you killed a million Iraqis.

You, you killed forty thousand people from your own nation. I didn't interrupt you.

I did not interrupt you. Okay, not this number, Hassan, not this number,

because its president repeated that thirty- two

thousand were killed in Iran. Now he says forty thousand,

Tomorrow we will hear eighty thousand. In Iran it was said

three thousand one hundred seventeen people were killed,

and the names were put forward.

And they were told— but this is an important clarification— they were told,“ Put

forward a name outside what we have put forward so we can believe that.”

Last week President Trump says,“ We brought in,

in January, we brought in weapons,

but unfortunately it was not enough.”

American love came in the form of weapons for the Iranians so they could fight

among themselves. Why do they say forty thousand? And why did the

opposition’s figure climb to eighty thousand?

So they can say that Iran is worse than Israel.

It is a narrative to whitewash Israel’s image.

Iran is cleaner than you and cleaner than Israel, and it will remain cleaner.

Hassan, just a quick remark, a quick one. The United States—

I am saying this to Peter— we may have positions on the Iranian regime, truly,

tough and oppositional positions.

But I think that America does not love peoples. And in the Arab region,

in the Middle East, we have a deep- rooted belief that American policy is a

bad policy, it has caused great suffering in this region.

It has caused the killing of peoples, as our colleague Dr. Hassan said,

in Palestine and in Iraq. And today in Iran, maybe in Syria, anywhere. It has always

been a hit- and- run policy,

meaning it does not protect people.

And even when protesters took to the streets in Iran in January,

the president told them,“ Stay put,

help is coming.” But no help came, and whether it was ten thousand, forty thousand,

I do not know how many, were executed or killed in the protests,

but no American help came to them.

Even in the negotiations now there is

no condition related to human rights in Iran, for example. It is all about

American demands. Regarding Dr. Hisham’s comments,

I opened up this issue of the dispute over…

even though it is not actually our topic.

No, I will go back and close it now and change the discussion.

We still need to talk about uranium enrichment and Lebanon.

I think the matter now is simply that there is leverage, influence.

And Iran’s ability to control the strait simply. And America is

trying with everything it does now to strip away this…
