When more and more people want something, it becomes easier to achieve that goal.
Lawyers have a dangerous job in Iran.
When a person is humiliated, when his rights are being violated, and he does not have the proper education, naturally he gravitates toward terrorism.
The role of Iran has been very destructive. As an Iranian, I apologize to the civilian people of Syria who have been killed as a result of the useless intervention of Iran in Syria.
No American soldier should be allowed to set foot on Iranian soil, regardless of the criticism we have of the Iranian government.
Democracy is not an incident that happens overnight, nor a gift that America can give to the world. It is a culture which needs peace to evolve.
Sadly the job security of lawyers has been ruined, so they are less willing to defend political defendants.
Over 60 percent of the university students in Iran are female. The women in Iran are better educated than men.
We demand a non-violent world where human security is the basis of our common global security. People have the right to live in a world where the basic needs of all peoples are addressed. No more military attacks. No more war.
No government can make me wear a veil, no government can force me not to wear it either.

When you vote, vote for those who are not warmongers, and vote for those who respect human rights. When you see a president who doesn’t respect human rights, don’t vote for that person.
The government of Iran claims that every two years there are elections. But none of them are free.
Usually, in any revolution people are focused on who wants to have the most power. But the most important thing is the laws that are written during that time.
The international community can’t trust such a government. If the government of Iran wants the international community to believe in what it says, it should try to bring true, pure democracy into the country. The political solution to the energy issue or the nuclear case is democracy in Iran.
Because of our youthful population, we suffer from unemployment in Iran. We need more universities and more job opportunities for the young.
We shouldn’t just consider the desire of government to do what it wants to do. We should always consider the resistance of people. The culture of Iranian people doesn’t let the government drag people into deep trouble or backlash. Maybe government wants it, but the culture doesn’t let it go on.
