Alwaght- Iran Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, addressed the Supreme Council of Basij-e Mostazafin, on November 27, 2014, khamenei.ir reported.
Talking after inconclusive nuclear talks between Iran and P-5+1, Ayatollah Khamenei told "I am not against extending negotiations as I was not against beginning them in the first place. We did not oppose entering into negotiations in the beginning and we explained to the people why we did this. In a speech, I explained the reasons and now we are not opposed to extending negotiations".
He described America as the main obstacle to reaching a nuclear deal and portrayed America an arrogant government. Iran's leader told America's "methods are based on arrogance". He also made a distinction between American government and its nation, saying "We have no problems with America as a geographical entity, as a nation or as a group of people. In this sense, it is like other countries. Our issue with America is the issue of American arrogance. They are arrogant, conceited, thuggish, and greedy. The statements that they made recently on the issue of nuclear negotiations prove this. Notice that they negotiated for several months and now, they have extended them. After that, they began talking, just like always".
However, Ayatollah Khamenei praised Iran's negotiation team for being "truly diligent and active". "They show resistance and they speak with reason. They do not give in to bullying and they are working hard," he added.
Since beginning of the negotiations, there have been numerous disputes over it inside Iran. Therefore, Ayatollah Khamenei as a leader tried to put an end to these arguments saying, "Most people are not aware of the details of these negotiations. They do not know what is happening in the process. They are working in a serious, reasonable, and diligent way and their actions are based on reason. Unlike the other side - mainly America - which says different things every day, our negotiating team behave towards them in a rational and powerful way".
"In private meetings and in their correspondence, the opposing parties say something, but in public meetings and in their public speeches, they say another thing. One day, they say something, another day they completely change it," he mentioned American official hypocritical policy.
Iran's leader counted two main reason for America's reluctance in reaching n nuclear agreement: firstly, American official "want to solve their domestic problems, they want to use the negotiations. This is why they have to say different things here and there…They are comprised of several countries behind each of which there is an army of diplomats, people in charge of public relations, photographers, analysts and other such people. The Americans are the most ill-tempered people among them and the English are the most devious ones".
"Everyone - both the other side and those people inside the country who are concerned about this matter and who follow these negotiations - should know that if negotiations fail, we are not the ones who suffer the most loss. Rather, it is the Americans. We are honest with our people. We say to our people what the truth of the issue is and they have already understood what the truth is. With different reasons, we can prove that the real goal of arrogance and the west in the face of Iran is to prevent the people of Iran from achieving growth and power. Their real goal is to prevent the increasing dignity of the people of Iran", he added.
"The nuclear issue is merely an excuse and of course, there are other excuses as well. The main issue is that the talents of the people of Iran are gradually being revealed that they are making progress in all dimensions - including political, scientific, and social dimensions - and that they are achieving power. This is why they are dissatisfied and unhappy. This is what they want to prevent", Iran's leader mentioned as the second reason.
Ayatollah Khamenei had also criticized America and its allies for introducing themselves as the representative of the global community." Iran should earn the global community's trust". They refer to themselves as the global community. Now, America, England, France and a few arrogant countries have become the global community. Is this the global community? Are the 150 non-aligned countries which held a congress in Tehran two years ago not part of the global community? About 50 presidents and rulers participated in an active way in Tehran's congress. Are they not the global community? Are the billions of people who live in these countries not the global community? Are these few countries, in which the people are mostly separated from their rulers, the global community? 'Earn the global community's trust' means 'Earn the trust of us Americans'. We do not want to earn the Americans' trust. We do not need the Americans' trust at all. We do not need you to trust us. Your trust in us has no significance for us. We and your people do not trust you either", he asserted.
The third reason that Iran's leader named for American's reluctance to achieve a deal was preserving Israeli regime's security. But he predicted that "Israel will be more insecure on a daily basis whether there will be a nuclear agreement or not. You should know that Israel's security would not be ensured whether there would be a nuclear agreement or not.
He has also accused American politicians of being insincere in what they claim about preserving Zionist regime's security. "You say, Israel's security should be preserved, I say in response that this is not a genuine statement either. For America's politicians - whether male or female - the security of Israel is not the main issue. The main issue is something else. The main issue for these lords is satisfying the Zionist capitalist network which has taken their lives in its hands. Their issue is this. Otherwise, what do they care if Israel exists or not? What they care about is that they have entrusted their lives to the network of Zionist capitalists," Iran's leader addressed American officials.
Describing Zionists' methods to make American official to support Israeli regime, ayatollah Khamenei reiterated :
These Zionist capitalists both bribe and threaten them. They bribe them with money and they accept it. They also bribe them with positions and political promotions and if the American politicians do not compromise with these people who pull the strings of America's economy, then they cannot achieve high positions such as presidency, ministerial positions and other such advantages. This is the main issue for them. The Zionist capitalists also issue threats. If they act against the wishes of that dangerous network, they threaten to make them resign or create a scandal for them. You have seen this in American life recently. They accuse different individuals, they create scandals for them, they charge them with sexual corruption, they make them resign, and they murder them. They have murdered some of their high-ranking and great officials. Their hands are open. You are afraid of this. Your considerations are because of this. The issue is not the security of Israel. Rather, the issue is your own security.
Finally advise American officials to be rational and sincere unless there will be no nuclear deal. "If reasonable statements are made, we will raise no objections. We accept reasonable statements. We accept fair and reasonable deals, but we do not give in to bullying and greed. The Islamic Republic - from its lowest to its highest ranks - and the people of Iran will not accept this. They should know this".
