According to the regime-run newspaper, ETELA'AT, on Saturday, Oct. 23rd Ahmadinejad spoke about the IRI nuclear issues to a large group of the regime's agent. He said: "The West is simply opposed to the nature of Islamic order; therefore when the nuclear issue is resolved, westerners will take issue with our human rights problems and when that's resolved, they will probably pick on us for animal rights abuse. We've shown our tolerance and expedience with this matter. As time goes on, the closer we will get and we will not stand down. When the centrifuges are started up again, things will transform. The regime is now entirely behind recommencing the work of the Esfahan U.C.F. plant; we had stopped the activities in order to obtain the trust [of the westerners]. First they (the westerners) made such a huge fuss over it but now as you see, they're becoming docile and are slowly settling down. We have commanded that things have changed yet they called us idiots. Is defending people's rights idiocy? These enemies sit around jeering at us and they expect that they can make us think that something big is happening. If these westerners were able to touch us, they wouldn't feel the need to warn us about it first. We seem to agitate these westerners but that does not affect us. We tell them to take their anger to the grave with them."
