'Iranians are presently more prepared than ever to defend the country's independence, national security, sovereignty, progress and resistance against enemies,' said the President.
Speaking to a bumper crowd of people, President Rouhani said, 'Which part of the Middle East is now safer than Iran; Iranians achieved this security through unity and support for the security forces.'
'No one in Washington should think that they can decide for the Iranian nation; [Iranian] people have not forgotten tortures of the Savak [the defunct Shah's intelligence service] that was founded by you [the US] ; No one will forget your crimes in the region. You have confiscated people's assets, and imposed sanction on the [Iranian] people but they care about their future themselves.'
'If you are honest, return the Iranians' assets,' added President Rouhani.
President Rouhani is in Sirjan to inaugurate several development projects.
