“As the Imam Khomeini said, if each Muslim throws a bucket of water on Israel, Israel will be erased…The Zionist regime is disintegrating from within. Today, the Islamic resistance in this region has shattered the regime’s legend of invincibility.”

—Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, June 1, 2008, news conference in Tehran

In reference to Iran’s nuclear program, despite UN sanctions: “No threat can hinder the Iranian nation from its path.” The UN Security Council has already imposed three sets of sanctions on Iran for its refusal to halt uranium enrichment. World powers agreed in early May to try again to lure Iran to the nuclear negotiating table with a set of incentives.
