That’s no way to treat a partner in peace.

Via MEMRI:

Ahmad Khatami: The arrogant pharaohs throughout history have always considered themselves superior to everybody everywhere. The actions of the despotic U.S. administration constitute a clear example of this. […]

Take for example, the secret spy den [the U.S. embassy] – the Muslim students knew that as long as that spy den remained open, the revolution could not be consolidated. They took over the den, caught the spies, and help America by the throat for 444 days. Well done!

Imam [Khomeini] managed this affair and called it the “Second Revolution.” If countries that waged a revolution, like Egypt, had learned from our experience, they wouldn’t have been in the situation they find themselves in today.

Third, the top U.S. officials without exception – from Carter to Obama – all wanted to topple the Islamic regime. It’s not that they did not want to, but they failed to do so. They keep pouring their venom.

Death to America!

Death to America!

Ahmad Khatami: When our top negotiators enter the room, they should know that when they face the Americans, they face a hostile enemy that cannot be trusted at all. Thank God, our top negotiators have acknowledged this a few times in the past. Just as you confront them during the negotiations, you must confront them on the level of political declarations… If the American president talks nonsense, our president should punch him in the mouth.
