Following are excerpts from a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which aired on the Iranian news channel (IRINN) on May 24, 2006.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Are you weary?

Crowd: No.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Are you weary?

Crowd: No.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Then who is weary?

Crowd: The enemy.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: I want them to hear you. They are close. Who is weary?

Crowd: The enemy.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Who is weary?

Crowd: The enemy.

[...]

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Despite the political pressure, the conspiracies, and the use of international organizations by the enemies, they have not succeeded in preventing the Iranian people from obtaining nuclear energy. Today they come up with a conspiracy. Today they want to generate dispute, division, and despair, thus preventing the Iranian people from realizing all its rights. They know that from the outside, they cannot harm the Iranian people in the slightest.

[...]

They know that any transgression, or the mere thought of violating the rights of the Iranian people, will be met with a slap of eternal and historic proportions, by the Iranian people and the youth of Khorramshahr.

[...]

Let them hear. This is the cry of the people of Khorramshahr. They are shouting in defense of nuclear energy. They are insisting on the indisputable right of the Iranian people to benefit from nuclear energy. Listen to the slogan of the people of Khorramshahr:

Crowd: Nuclear energy is our indisputable right.

Nuclear energy is our indisputable right.

Nuclear energy is our indisputable right.

[...]

In spirit and in blood, we will redeem you, oh Mahmoud.

In spirit and in blood, we will redeem you, oh Mahmoud.

In spirit and in blood, we will redeem you, oh Mahmoud.

In spirit and in blood, we will redeem you, oh Mahmoud.

In spirit and in blood, we will redeem you, oh Mahmoud.
