You caused September 11

You caused the September 11 event and now you are accusing every nation that stands against you and seeks to maintain its independence of cooperating with terrorism.

September 11 became a pretext for pressuring Middle Eastern nations and for violating their rights.

The oppressed people of Palestine have lived under the rule of an occupying regime for 60 years, been deprived of freedom, security and the right to self-determination, while the occupiers are given recognition. On a daily basis the houses are being destroyed over the heads of innocent women and children. People are deprived of water, food and medicine in their own homeland. The Zionists have imposed five all-out wars on the neighboring countries and on the Palestinian people.

There is no logic and justification to use the presence of few terrorists as a pretext to send troops to Afghanistan, occupy Iraq and today bombard the Pakistani people.

Iranians will not permit terrorists to put Muslims and the entire Middle East under pressure through an event with ambiguous facts.

If Americans have strong evidence proving the September 11 attacks have been carried out by terrorists, they should present them.

This is our legal right to ask for a truth-finding committee to investigate the incident.

It is necessary to re-listen to the black box of the September 11 attacks.

It was said that some three thousands people were killed on September 11 for which we are all very saddened. Yet, up until now, in Afghanistan and Iraq hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, millions wounded and displaced and the conflict is still going on and expanding.

If certain individuals are responsible for the September 11 incident, a fair and independent tribunal must probe the matter.

Even these people should be allowed to appear in court and employ a lawyer. If they are found guilty, they should be punished. If they are not available, their names must be announced to regional nations.

What I’ve said consistently is that we are willing to reach out with an open hand to the Iranian government and the Iranian people, because we believe that there’s nothing inevitable that should cause Iran and the United States to be enemies.

There’s a history there that is difficult, but it can be bridged with mutual understanding, mutual respect, and we want to see the people of Iran ultimately succeed.
