Such actions have left more deaths than the atomic bomb: Ambassador of Iran
"The third world war began with the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq"
Latin America and Mexico recognize our right to develop nuclear energy, said to “ La Jornada”
- "The American Dream is a falsehood, and we hope that one day we will realize that"

In full expansion of its diplomacy for Latin America, the Islamic Republic of Iran identified a suitable environment for alliances in the region, at a time of acute hostility from Washington against Tehran, as the new ambassador of that nation in mexico” Mohammad Ghadiri Abyaneh” explained.

Confident that several governments in the hemisphere, including Mexico, supported Iran's right to develop its nuclear industry for peaceful purposes, believes that calling America "backyard" of Washington "is an insult."

"We know the history of the United States, which historically has supported coups and dictatorships. But people are already organized and some elected governments (freely) are against his intervention, "he says.

With countries such as Venezuela, alliances of Iran are strategic. The trade with that nation sum 7 billion dollars and there are contracts signed by 20 billion, and with Bolivia is a recently signed an agreement for more than 20 billion dollars. In the case of Nicaragua, Chile and Mexico, barely started revived ties.

Ghadiri Abyneh, architect educated in Italy and a doctorate in strategic science from the University of Tehran, began his political career in the shadow of Ayatollah Khomeini,

As spokesman for the Foreign Ministry. Since his arrival in Mexico, six months ago, he has carried out a busy schedule of public relations, which includes interviews with the press.

Despite his mastery of English, he preferred to speak in Farsi, and be understood through an interpreter. He begins talking with a religious invocation - "In the name of God…." To say that the strength of their country and the ability having achieved an economic take-off was due to his faith, but also to the sanctions that united states imposed on them 30 years ago "That obliges us to stand alone and have confidence in ourselves."

And about the question of what is his country waiting for from Latin America if it will be specific, as if it is feared -

The American attack responded with a quotation from the Imam Ali first prophet of the Shiites: "Who is left press is a partner of the oppressor; silence in the face of war is a way to participate in the war. Solidarity of the people is more significant than the military power of governments "

Alliances in a strange "courtyard"

- Washington should not feel comfortable with the approach from Tehran to Latin America, which it considers "his" zone of influence, not to be like that president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, its enemy, makes friends with whom it considers its natural allies.

- Latin America has 450 million inhabitants, the United States has 300 million. While there are some governments in the region that accept to be humiliating, we are waiting the day when Latin America will be liberated and discover the falsehood of what they call the American dream, If Americans have not kept subjected to Latin America, if they had not conspired to keep many years totalitarian regimes, the region would not be looking now to migrate to the road there.

- Do you think that Mexico supports the right of Iran to develop its nuclear industry for peaceful purposes?

- Yes. Mexico recognizes the right of Iran and all countries to have nuclear power, but believes that Iran must overcome the concerns of the American propaganda. We understand that Mexico is in favor of peace and it refused the attack against Iraq. We hope to keep that commitment.

- The allegation of Iran on its right to develop nuclear energy has become a new “casus belli” in the world.

- We have never tried to develop weapons of mass destruction for religious reasons. The nuclear bomb destroy en masse and does not distinguish the guilty from the innocent. Islam does not permit us to destroy, kill. The Americans know they are lying. The world already knows how is this lie. The consequence is that the occupation of Iraq, supported in the same lie, has killed more civilians that the bombs of Hiroshima and Ngasaki (Japan)

- "During the reign of Shah Reza Pahlevi, Iran had 30 million inhabitants and American companies recommended to build 20 nuclear plants. With the onset of the Islamic revolution the project stopped. Now we are 70 million inhabitants. In recent 35 years, part of the oil and gas has been consumed. How do you justify that when we were 30 millions we needed 20 nuclear power plants and now we are 70 millions and we do not need any?

The Third World War

- Since 2003, after the invasion of Iraq, the world wondered whether Iran will suffer the same fate as its neighbor.

- There is a fundamental difference between Iran and Iraq. There was an enmity between the Iraqi people and their government, while government and people in Iran are united. The government of Saddam Hussein was the result of a coup. The government of Iran is a result of a popular revolution. The Iraqi army had no popular support and sanctions had weakened them considerably.

"In our case, there is a popular support and there is a religious people willing to sacrifice for their goals. The equation changes. We are sure that we can beat the Americans. Our history teaches us a lesson: invading Iran will be defeated,whoever is Hussein, Hitler or Bush. The destiny of those who start the third world war will be the same of who began the second.

Do you refer to this scenario trigger the third world war?

- As a strategist, I think that the third war began with the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. United States is trying get all oil resources in the area and analysts around the world, including the United States, agree that the only outcome which is possible,is that this country will be defeated. That is why they are trying to persuade him not to attack Iran.

- In the United States extends the perceived failure of the occupation of Iraq, there isn’t a good atmosphere for the war against Iran. Bush's popularity has fallen and there is not too much time.

Do you think that a Democratic government in Washington, would remove the pressure of your country?

Democrats and republícanos always have been hostile to Iran.when both of them had the power United States imposed us sanctions and encouraged Iraqto attack us. Democrats and Republicans pursue the same control of the world.
