You can start a war but it won't be you who finishes it.

The Americans know better than anyone that their troops in the region and in Iraq are vulnerable. I would advise them not to commit such a strategic error.

Iran has a ballistic missile capability of 2000km. We do not intend to attack any country, but if we are attacked we have the capability to give an effective response. Our policy is defensive.

We have worked on all defensive and offensive scenarios for any possible attacks.

We are producing these missiles and don't need foreign technology for that.

The choice is not between war and appeasement. There is a third option, which is democratic change by Iranian people themselves.
