In the world today what is important is respecting the rights of nations and governments. With international cooperation, without any exertion of pressure one can create international peace. One of the tools for that are the United Nations General Assembly. If enough power is given to the General Assembly, many international conflicts and wars could be solved though the General Assembly.

The summery of my words is that the stance of the United States and its administrations must change. If they don't change it, they will be forced to change it by international pressure. Today, the world will not accept that one force will rule all other nations.

TE: Will Mr. Obama change America?

SH: We must wait and see.

TE: Do you prefer Obama over McCain?

SH: We must see their actions and then judge.

TE: A news report was published in the U.S. accusing the American Congress of secretly supporting a $400 million fund in order to provide assistance to rebel groups in Iran. Jundullah, Pejak, etc. Do you confirm that the U.S. supports groups here in Iran to create instability?

SH: There are signs of American interfering. For example the Shiraz bombing. It became obvious that the people who did this has been trained by American forces.

TE: Do you have proof?

SH: Also people entered Iranian soil in northwest Iran a couple of times. For example, the fighting near Urumieh city a month ago. Documents and evidence which we found shows that some of their equipment is even American. They had close cooperation with anti-Iranian groups like Pejak which is supported by the United States.

If that story is true, it shows that there are still some people in America who want to follow the present methods of Mr. Bush, which only create hatred in the world against the U.S.

TE: About the Shiraz bombing, can you prove that the U.S. was behind this?
