These just came on Google News, one the full Iranian version, and the other the Forbes version.

Forbes Version: http://www.forbes.com/work/feeds/ap/2006/06/04/ap2791750.html
It seems the Forbes version choose the most inflammatory quotes and ignored the rest of the ideals the Iranian Supreme Leader was trying to talk about.
After reading this and the Iranian president's recent letter to Bush, I think they have some really good point. They are tired of being screwed with by US & Britain and they want to use their resources to build themselves up.
They have never caused any wars outside their border and there has never been an Iranian terrorist. In fact, they have been spending the last century recovering from the governmental sabotage and damage caused by other countries trying to steal their oil.
They just want to be able to use their own natural wealth to build their country their way and preserve their culture without foreign involvement, just like any people in the world would want for themselves. I think its basic greed that the US would initiate all this nuclear propaganda and threats to taint their efforts.
Who knows how this will end up, and if the Iranian leader's intentions are good or not. I do respect that they are calling out the US/Britian on their own game though, it's about time.
