Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: During this year’s celebrations of the revolution, you have witnessed some of our scientists' technological and scientific achievements, [such as] the prevention and cure of the deadly AIDS disease. They are the ones who created this disease. They are the foundation for this disease. But the dear humanity-loving, and believing Iranian people is inventing the cure for it, and will place it at the disposal of all humanity.[...]
We said to them: If you are in favor of dialogue, why do you insist on suspension [of uranium enrichment]? If we suspend [enrichment], what will be left for us to discuss? How come your [nuclear] fuel plants can work day and night at full capacity, whereas the Iranian people, which is only at the beginning of the road, must stop the operation of ours? We said that we are ready for dialogue, but under just and equal conditions, and not when your plants operate day and night, while we have to stop and beg at your doorstep for our right. The Iranian people will never accept such humiliation.
[...]
Last year, you insisted on your right, and today, with Allah's grace, you have consolidated this indisputable right, and you have sprayed the dust of despair and regret on the faces of your enemies. This celebration is the Iranian people's great celebration of its nuclear energy.
They should know that they have failed. The Iranian people still stands firm. Our dear leader still stands firm, and the government, which serves the people, still stands firm. They should know that nobody in this country is entitled to give up even one iota of the rights of the Iranian people. The world should know that whoever displays – in his heart, his speech, or his actions – even the smallest compromise or surrender of the Iranian people's right will be considered the most detested person among the Iranian people.
[…]
Obviously, the enemies will say things and will take measures for several months, but they know and we know that the dear Iranian people overcame the obstacle on February 11, 2007, and has consolidated its indisputable right. Of course, you should know that by April 9, 2007, you will have witnessed the great progress of the Iranian people, and several great and rare steps of progress will be presented to you, in the fields of industry, agriculture, and medicine, and especially in the field of nuclear technology.
