*Clip #606: Iranian leader Ali Khamenei: "Death to America" should be said
before reading any chapter of the Koran

An excerpt: "Our people say "Death to America," and this is like saying "I
seek God's refuge from the accursed Satan," which is recited before any
chapter of the Koran, even before "In the name of Allah the Compassionate,
the Merciful." Why is this? So the believer will never forget, even for a
moment, the presence of Satan. So he will never forget, even for a moment,
that Satan is ready to attack him and to destroy his spiritual shield and
his faith... The saying "Death to America" is for this purpose."

*Clip #605: Iranian Intelligence Minister: Condoleezza Rice is the Queen of
Violence and War

An excerpt: "Ms. Rice is the queen of violence and war, and it is only
natural that she would say such things. Since Ms. Rice began to appear on
the international podiums, she's been saying such things, which are not new.
She herself is a terrorist. Many of the crimes committed in Iraq, Palestine
and other places, were committed with her support. Indeed, if justice were
served, Ms. Rice, Bush, and their cohorts would be judged in the
international court of justice for their crimes against the Iraqi people and
others."

*Clip #604: Iranian President Mohammad Khatami: America is the Root of
Worldwide Terror

An excerpt: "We can now fully comprehend the roots of the violence, the
roots of terrorism, and the roots of insecurity worldwide. The roots of
terrorism are the discrimination and double standard [of America], and the
division of mankind into Americans and non-Americans."

*Clip #603: Iranian TV Coverage of "So-Called Holocaust" Museum Inauguration

An excerpt: "How similar is this day to that day in 1948 when the West
supported the establishment of the occupying entity on the land of
Palestine, completely disregarding - and continuing to disregard - the
entire Palestinian people. Heads of state, foreign ministers, and senior
officials from 40 countries came to inaugurate Yad Vashem, the museum of the
so-called holocaust committed by the Nazis in Germany, Belgium, and Poland -
an issue still disputed and questioned among the Europeans themselves."

*Clip #586: Iranian Security Council Secretary Hassan Rowhani: U.S. Does Not
Have Ability to Attack Iran

An excerpt: "I don't think that America has the ability to attack Iran, and
I don't think it has made any decisions on this matter. This doesn't mean
that they don't have any plans in mind. In light of the situation in the
region and in Iran, I don't think that the Americans will miscalculate and
will want to attack Iran. If something like this were to happen, it would be
a strategic miscalculation for America, and would cause it a lot of damage.
Obviously, we are not interested in increasing tensions with America or
fighting it. We want to live in peace with the entire world, and if there
are problems they should be resolved by peaceful means."

Clip #575: Iranian Generals: Recent Wars in the Region Allowed Us to Prepare
for the Americans

An excerpt: "The events in the Middle East in the past two or three years -
the two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which border with Iran - were a great
opportunity for us to get to know the American methods, strategies,
doctrines, and tactics. the Americans are our greatest security challenge.
Thus, we have been able to prepare for a confrontation with the American
threat. Today, thank God, we can say the armed forces in our country are
totally familiar with the American modus operandi."
