00:01I had prepared a speech to present to you yesterday. The United States President described us as terrorists. We have
00:14been the victims of terrorism.
00:19I come from an Iran in which our esteemed Supreme Leader was assassinated without any legal framework or reason.
00:34I come from an Iran where, in truth, they bombed a school. You see these children? These children perished under
00:51bombs with weapons used by the United States and Israel.
00:58They were innocent. Had committed no crimes.
01:07Lomerd, one of the small cities in a province in Iran.
01:13A sports hall where children were busy playing.
01:18The United States, by using weapons with multiple warheads, targeted that sports hall.
01:30They martyred, assassinated our scientists, our men, women and children.
01:37Innocent children whom, in truth, had committed no crimes, no sins.
01:43Those who are terrorists and train and protect terrorists describe us as such.
01:51We have only defended ourselves. We are not terrorists.
01:57Our innocent people have been the targets of cowardly attacks and aggressions imposed upon our country.
02:08And we defended ourselves with utmost strength.
02:14America and Israel attacked us, equipped with the latest technology and weapon systems.
02:18America and our people stood steadfast.
02:22Yes, they did hit us, but we did not bend the knee.
02:26We did not bow our head.
02:28We responded, but we did not hit civilian populations.
02:33They came into surrounding territories and targeted our universities, our healthcare centers, our schools, our hospitals, our infrastructures.
02:46There's all of it against international law.
02:48When I took over the responsibilities.
