president Trump speech in general assembly is a turning point in united states policy and Iran
By Arash Nikzad
President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General
Assembly for the first time on Tuesday 19th September 2017. In his
speech, he focused on the threat posed by North Korea, and on Iran’s government
and the Iran nuclear deal.
On Iran, Trump demanded that “Iran's government must stop
supporting terrorists, begin serving its own people, and respect the sovereign
rights of its neighbors.” He also criticized the Iran nuclear deal, calling it,
characteristically, “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions” and “an
embarrassment.”
The following is the full text of President Trump's speech on Iran regime.
'It is far past time for the nations of the world to confront
another reckless regime, one that speaks openly of mass murder following death
to America, destruction to Israel, and ruin for many leaders and nations in
this room. The Iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the
false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy country with a
rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief
exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos. The longest suffering
victims of Iran's leaders are in fact its own people. Rather than use its
resources to improve Iranian lives, its oil profits go to fund Hezbollah and
other terrorist that kill innocent Muslims, and attack their
peaceful Arab and Israeli neighbors. This wealth, which rightly belongs to
Iran's people, also goes to shore up Bashar al Assad dictatorship, fuel Yemen
civil war, and undermine peace throughout the entire Middle East. We cannot let
a murderous regime continue these destabilizing activities, while building
dangerous missiles and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover for
the eventual construction of a nuclear program.
'The Iran deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transaction the United States has ever entered into. Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States and I don't think you've heard the last of it. Believe me.
'It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that Iran's government end its pursuit of death and destruction. It is time for the regime to free all Americans and citizens of other nations that they have unjustly detained. And above all, Iran's government must stop supporting terrorists, begin serving its own people, and respect the sovereign rights of its neighbors. The entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change, and other than the vast military power of the United States, that Iran's people are what their leaders fear the most.
'This is what causes the regime to restrict internet access, tear down satellite dishes, shoot unarmed student protesters, and imprison political reformers. Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever and the day will come when the people we'll face the choice, will they continue down the path of poverty, bloodshed and terror, or will the Iranian people return to the nation's proud roots as a center of civilization, culture and wealth, where their people can be happy and prosperous once again.
'The Iranian regime support for terror is in stark contrast to the recent commitments of many of its neighbors to fight terrorism and halt its finance. In Saudi Arabia, early last year, I was greatly honored to address the leaders of more than 50 Arab and Moslem Nations. We agreed that all responsible nation must work together to confront terror and the Islamic extremism that inspires them. We will stop radical Islamic extremism because we cannot allow it to tear up our nation and indeed to tear up the entire world. We must deny the terrorist the safe haven, transit, funding, and any form of support for their wild and sinister ideology. We must drive them out of our nation. It is time to expose and hold responsible those countries who support and finance terror groups like Al-Qaida, Hezbollah, the Taliban and others that slaughter innocent people.
'The United State and our allies are working together to crush the looser terror and stop the re-emergence of the safe haven they use to launch attack on all of our people.'
