Manouchehr Mottaki Republic Quotations

We believe that the presence of the British military forces in Basra has led to the destabilization of the security situation in the city. The Islamic Republic of Iran demands the immediate withdrawal of British forces from Basra.

They try, of course, to justify their illegal and discriminatory approach under the guise of the nonproliferation concern, the concern that we all share. The biased, exaggerated and unjustified propaganda is being disseminated around the peaceful nuclear program of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is insisting to provide Asia with the oil it needs as a reliable and effective source of energy and will not use oil as a foreign-policy instrument.
