Tehran, YJC. Larijani says had the same disturbances as that of 2009 Iran happened in the US, either the state would have fallen or thousands have got killed.
The
head of the Human Rights Staff of the Judiciary of Iran said "America’s enmity
with Iran has two reasons. First is that their cultural stance which stems from
their arrogance and racism and second that it is fatal to them if someone in
the region stands against the US. If at some instances the US has not taken
action against Iran it is not due to respect. It is for their set-backs in case
of action.”
"A
few months before the 2009 elections I went to France. There some official told
me ‘In Europe we are unanimous that there can be anyone but Ahmadinejad,’” he
said.

Larijani stated "We must understand today that we are not under sanctions for
saying death to USA or for our rotating centrifuges or our missile range. We were
put under sanctions because we stood against the West. If we did not have any
of these and we stood before the West we would still be put under sanctions.”
He added
"The sedition was not a misunderstanding. It was a move by the US and by the Zionist
West and it was because they could not attack Iran.”
I have
something against "win-win”. Someone has come in our house and trespassed and
has taken our assets in hand and we say win-win.
"In
we set one inch back in relation to the West they will come forward to the end.
We are the harbinger of the Islamic world and our defeat against the West means
the defeat of Islam. We must talk to the world but we must not bow down before
their excess,” Larijani exclaimed.
He also
pointed to the West’s harsh response against military threats and said "70
people were killed in a civil movement in the Wall Street movement.”
