If we ever want presence in U.S. then we'll come talk to you
- For 40 years enemies have plotted against Iran, spending billions to strike a blow to the IRI, but for 40 years this pure tree has been steadily growing, which makes us proud. There's never been so many plots against any nation, yet enemies haven't achieved even one of their goals!
- Just a few months ago they plotted, among their think-tanks, and set a plan and a time, estimating that the Islamic Republic would fall by the end of the year. You witnessed how the Iranian nation responded. Iranians are ready to respond to any invaders or any transgressor.
- Provoker of sedition and corruption, US gov. asks, why do you have a presence in the region? Well, do we have to ask for your permission to be in our region? We should talk with regional governments on that, why'd we talk with you? If we ever want presence in U.S. then we'll come talk to you.
- To EU states wanting to speak with Iran about our presence in region: We should talk with governments in region about our presence here. What does it have to do with you? Why are you here? This is our region. We talk with region's people and governments; we set plans together successfully and will keep progressing.
