Mahmud Reza Sadjadi, Iran's ambassador to Russia
The first question is why the information situation around Iran is worsening.
Why does the West take such a severe position toward Iran?
A fuss around the Iranian nuclear program was made, but it is not the real point.
33 years ago the Islamic revolution succeeded in Iran.
The Western countries and the US worried that such ideas and independence
would spread to other countries of the Islamic world.
That is why they have strived to capture the dividends and interests they used to have in Iran.
They didnt want other countries to learn the Iranian example and reject American hegemony.
But recent events in the countries of the Middle East and Northern Africa show
that the address by the Iranian peoples has spread to other countries.
Everything that happened in Egypt, Tunisia and partially in Yemen means
that the peoples of the states want to be free from American hegemony.
The US worried they would lose all their friends in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East,
where great energy resources are focused.
So the political pressure on Iran turned into a full information war.
They openly say that they want to launch a military strike on our country.
Their words contradict all international agreements.
Furthermore, America has internal economic problems. 20 00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:34,100 They blame other countries for their own failures.
As for the attempt on the life of the Iranian nuclear-physicist,
I should draw the attention of the Russian people to this moment.
In the 21st century of science and development we witness villainous deeds.
After the attempt, hundreds of Iranian students from various faculties expressed their intention
to change specialty and study nuclear energy.
It is a clear message to the world: you cannot frighten the young people of Iran.
As for the situation in Syria, we consider it to be a foreign provocation rather than a popular revolt.
This is understood by the behavior of Western countries,
the spread of information and other practical aspects.
We remember that the West tried to hide developments in Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen.
The US supported the government of Mubarak until the last moment.
As for Syria, we can observe the exaggeration of the events.
The Western media provokes the situation there.
There are documents, which say that Americas friends are providing the Syrian rebels
with money and armaments.
We think that in Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen people protested for freedom and independence,
while in Syria the situation is different.
There are actions for overthrowing an unacceptable regime.
Of course, the American Navy didn't come to the Persian Gulf for fishing.
How can Iranian vessels and American military ships be compared?
How can Iranian vessels provoke them?
It is ridiculous.
Some countries don’t want to import oil from the countries influenced by the USA.
China is sure that Iran wont change its oil policy, despite pressure from the US.
The question is: do other countries of the Persian Gulf have such a policy?
If China and the USA have contradictions, the US will launch an energy embargo against China.
And China couldnt buy oil in friendly states of the US.
That is why I dont think American hopes for the oil embargo against Iran will be fulfilled.
Several months ago Mr. Patrushev visited Iran.
After that, consultations between the security councils of two countries were intensified.
The consultations include a wide circle of issues.
The talks were friendly and effective.
We welcome the position of Russia on the exaggeration of the situation around Iran.
As to help for the states of the South Caucasus, Americans do not provide humanitarian support.
If the authorities of America were so kind, they should first of all deal with their own poor people.
Behind the support lie political objectives.
And we think this support is not in favor of the regions countries.
