Secretary Pompeo delivers remarks during the United Against Nuclear Iran summit 
国务卿迈克尔·蓬佩奥
在反对伊朗核武器联盟2019年伊朗问题峰会上的讲话
《伊朗进犯：全世界觉醒》
2019年9月25日
早上好。各位早上好。谢谢大家。早上好。感谢利伯曼（Lieberman）参议员邀请我回来连续第二年发表讲话。马克（Mark），见到你也很高兴。你们今天上午在这里安排的座椅很舒适。
我还要欢迎几位特别来宾。正如利伯曼参议员所介绍的，沙特阿拉伯的萨卜汉（al-Sabhan）大臣；巴林大使和德默尔（Dermer）大使；伊朗美国犹太联合会（Iranian American Jewish Federation）的苏珊·阿齐扎德（Susan Azizadeh）。（掌声）是的，谢谢。（笑声）还有马兹亚·巴哈里（Maziar Bahari），一位了不起的伊朗人权倡导者。我还要对所有今天正在收听的伊朗人道一声“萨拉姆”（Salaam）。我今天上午想对伊朗人民说的话很多。
我希望你们大家都想象一下本月早些时候沙特阿拉伯阿布盖格（Abqaiq）的景象。那是在即将日出之前，导弹和无人机雨点般地降到沙特阿拉伯最大的炼油设施。那里有很多国际人士——外国人和美国人——就在不太远的地方。工人们听到了爆炸声，他们的孩子也听到了。顺便说一句，我儿子对我要去国际刑事法院（International Criminal Court）不像你们觉得的那样有趣。（笑声）但他的确说了他想要至少参加开场部分。（笑声）
回到严肃的话题上。他们的孩子是——感谢上帝没有生命损失，但原很有可能会有。就此而言，该地区的每个人，乃至全世界，很幸运。
我立即将其称为“战争行为”，一个主权国家针对另一个主权国家，因为就是如此。这是对沙特阿拉伯，一个主权国家的攻击。这还的确是对全球经济的攻击。
有些人说那是，那种宣布是急于作出判断。历史——就像，过去六天的历史——已经证明我们是对的，美国是对的。我们没有急于采取行动。
我们有耐心。我们与我们的合作伙伴通了话。我们查明了真相。我们希望确保每个人都有机会看到我们所了解的情况。
正如利伯曼参议员本周所言，英国、法国和德国都发布了有关他们得出的结论的声明。
引述他们的话说，“我们清楚地看到”——这三个国家，“我们清楚地看到伊朗对这次袭击负有责任。除此之外没有其他合理的解释。”
他们接着说：“这些袭击可能是针对沙特阿拉伯的，但它们令所有国家感到关切，而且增加了重大冲突的风险。”
他们宣布：“现已是伊朗接受就一个为其核项目设立的长期框架以及同地区安全有关的问题进行谈判的时候了。”
有些人说他们加入到美国一边。我想他们是加入到了现实之中。我想他们是加入到了我们都看到的事实之中。而且这就是进步。
各国都支持这种现实。他们实事求是地阐明真相，这是我们在座的所有人都已经知道了很长时间的。
这是觉醒的开始——认识到伊朗是进犯者而不是蒙冤者的真相，不像他们于本周在华盛顿——对不起，是在纽约——到处声称的那样。
这正是美国的民主和外交所取得的成果。
当特朗普总统退出联合全面行动计划（JCPOA）那项核协议时，他并非只为美国国家安全表明了立场。他当时曾说该协议只会使“伊朗的[狼子]野心……更加肆无忌惮”。
的确，伊朗有着无端进犯的长期历史，到现在有40年了，针对其本国人民、针对其邻国，乃至针对文明本身。
这份清单很长。从谋杀及酷刑折磨本国人民，到杀害从黎巴嫩到伊拉克的美国人，以及直至今日还窝藏“基地”组织（al-Qaida），伊朗肆意妄为已有40年，但令人痛心的是它却很少承担后果。
在这项核协议期间——在核协议谈判期间，伊朗的邪恶活动丝毫没有减弱，尽管那是协议所基于的理论。由于以色列，我们现在才知道他们就在那时还在保护、隐藏并保存他们的核技术。
的确，在协议签署以及一箱箱现金被送交之后，他们继续在整个地区支持真主党（Hizballah）、哈马斯（Hamas）、胡塞（Houthis）和什叶派（Shia）武装。全世界对他们过于绥靖，然后让他们得以从事恐怖主义。
当特朗普总统就职时，伊朗并没有像上届政府预期的那样加入国际社会。
我们发现的是：我们发现了在叙利亚的一场难民危机，原因是伊朗对阿萨德（Assad）的支持；在也门的人道困境，原因是伊朗向胡塞组织转运武器；一个脆弱的伊拉克，原因是伊朗对什叶派武装的支持；以及一个伊朗的依附国，又名黎巴嫩。
我们看到伊朗人被监禁并被酷刑折磨；美国公民以及其他很多国家的公民被非法关押。
就在昨天，特朗普总统明确区分了那些认为“他们注定要统治其他人”的人，以及“那些只想自治的人民和国家”。伊朗伊斯兰共和国属于哪个阵营是明确无疑的。
正因为如此，去年在我们退出核协议之后，我们开始执行特朗普总统的战略——它被简略地称为最大限度施压的行动。但它远不止于此。
我们着手切断该政权用于资助死亡和毁灭的资金，而且我们已经看到了其益处。我们开始对该政权施压，让它达成一项真正的协议，绝不让全世界最肆无忌惮的政权掌握有史以来最具毁灭性的武器系统。
正如总统昨天所言，“现在是伊朗领导人向前迈进并停止威胁其他国家，同时着重于建设他们自己国家的时候了”，为了他们本国人民。“现在是伊朗领导人终于将”那些人民，“伊朗人民放在第一位的时候了”。我有信心——我相信伊朗人民也会提出这一要求。（掌声）而且当他们这样做的时候，你们应当知道本届政府将会支持他们。（掌声）
请看，我们为实现我们的和平目标实施了前所未有的措施：
我们对高层罪魁祸首实施了制裁，因为他们沾血——因为他们手上有血迹。最高领袖，外交部长扎里夫（Zarif），以及伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）只是其中一小部分。
我们通过制裁打击了伊朗石油业，金属业和银行业，使该政权无法获得亿万美元，我们执行那些制裁毫不留情并将继续如此。
全球成千上万公司在遵守我们的制裁，因为他们知道他们的成功有赖于美国这边，而不是与阿亚图拉那边。
通过制裁该政权的石油业，我们切断了伊朗的首位收入来源。已有30多个国家把从伊朗进口的石油降到零。继续下去，我们对伊朗石油业的制裁将切断该政权每年多达500亿美元的收入。值得一提的是，那些制裁，其最高峰，仅是从五月初才实行，至今大约5个月。仍有待进行很多工作。
我们是幸运的。美国的实力意味着没有任何其他国家能够施加如此巨大的压力。
这种前所未有的压力也正在使该政权开始仓惶进犯，如我们所见，公开撒谎。
他们动用他们囊中每一伎俩，以期刺激我们卷入冲突，在国家之间制造分裂，从而逼迫它们采取行动。你们要知道他们的伎俩不会成功。
今年夏天，伊朗在国际水域攻击油轮，击落一架美国无人机，蔑视和威胁蔑视其核承诺，并继续宣称消灭以色列。
就在昨天，该政权将你们的组织——如利伯曼参议员所说，一个和平的非营利组织——列入它的恐怖组织名度，正像它几个星期前对我们的保卫民主基金会（FDD）的朋友所做的一样。
这极其无耻。即使对这个政权而言，也极其无耻，而这确实表明你们所做的是正确的 。
伊朗不折不扣地在撒谎，我们各国需要在每次看到谎言时对他们直指其名。
昨晚我打开看福克斯新闻台（Fox News），看到鲁哈尼（Rouhani）总统在和克里斯·华莱士（Chris Wallace）谈话，这本身就是怪事。（笑声）
他宣称——鲁哈尼宣称，伊朗在它所到一切之地打败恐怖主义。
他宣称，“肯定地，毫无疑问地”以色列支持伊斯兰国组织（ISIS）。
难以置信的是，他说——我必须引述原话——他说，“伊朗是一个给该地区带来和平的国家”。然而有太多人听取鲁哈尼和扎里夫的话，认为他们的话是中肯的，或重要的，或实质性的，或准确的。
鲁哈尼迫切需要做假相，因为世界正在向真相觉醒。这个真相是，伊朗吃硬不吃软。特朗普总统知道这点。
越来越多的国家开始挺身抵制伊朗的恶棍行为，并与它断绝经济往来。我们将确保它们都这样做。它们正在认识到，引用总统的话说，“没有一个负责任的政府应该补贴伊朗的[杀戮欲]”。
我们已经取得进展。法国现在禁止马汉航空（Mahan Air）飞机进出法国。
德国也是如此，禁止那些飞机在德国着陆。
阿根廷最近将真主党定为恐怖主义组织。
英国表示，它不再接受在真主党政治派别和军事派别两者间作的错误区分。
希腊拒绝让一艘向叙利亚运送石油的伊朗超级油轮在希腊港口加油。
荷兰首次宣布，伊朗很可能是杀害两名曾是伊朗异议人士的荷兰公民的幕后黑手。
澳大利亚、巴林、沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋和英国都加入了我们的努力，保护在霍尔木兹海峡（Straits of Hormuz）的航行自由。
昨天我会晤了海合会（GCC）国家。他们了解伊朗对和平的威胁，并团结一致阻止它。在昨天特朗普总统与他们会面时也很清楚，他们准备采取一切必要行动，保证那一地区的安全。
那么我也知道，如果我这样说会让不只几个评论家抓狂，但这就叫做有效的多边主义。这是特朗普政府所努力做的，基于现实和事实的多边主义，并且有明确目标。
各国正在显示，它们本身就是昨天特朗普总统所称赞的 “主权和独立国家，保护公民，[尊重]邻邦，敬重使各国别具一格的差异”。
这是美国外交取得的成果；还有更多工作有待去做。
但是各国确实在面对真相觉醒过来，即伊朗越是发作，我们的压力就越将也越应该更强大。
各位可以相信美国的领导作用；每个国家都可以。正如特朗普总统昨天所说，“只要伊朗在继续张牙舞爪，制裁就不会取消，而且将更加严厉”。未来的前进道路以现在两项新行动开始：
首先，我们将采取新的行动，将伊斯兰革命卫队与伊朗经济脱钩。美国将加强努力，向国家和公司说明与伊斯兰革命卫队的实体做生意的风险，而且我们将对不顾我们的警告继续那样做的国家和公司实行惩罚。
第二，今天我们对某些中国实体实行制裁，因为它们有意违背美国制裁从伊朗运输石油。（掌声）重要的是，我们也对那些公司的主管人实行制裁。我们要让中国和所有国家知道，每一个违背制裁的行为都将受到我们的制裁。
因此，在我结束今天上午讲话之际，我要问负责任的国家：你们是否将公开谴责伊朗的邪恶活动？我们需要你们这样做；世界需要。
你们是否将和我们一道努力恢复威慑措施？我们需要你们这样做；世界需要。
你们是否将帮助我们保护全球贸易通航自由？我们需要你们这样做；世界需要。
极为重要的是，你们是否协助我们使伊朗回到谈判桌前？我们需要你们的协助；世界需要它。
而且你们是否将和我们一道与以色列站在一起？我们需要你们这样做；世界需要你们加入我们。（掌声）
我们的目标非常直接了当，虽然并非简单。但是我们知道外交正在奏效，我们的决心坚定，我们的眼光清醒。我认为，世界已经开始觉醒。
最后一次引用特朗普总统的话——至少是今早最后一次——“所有国家”——每一个国家——“都有责任采取行动”。诸位将如何做？
谢谢你们。
上帝保佑你们。
愿上帝保佑伊朗人民。（掌声）

SPEECHMICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATEUNITED AGAINST NUCLEAR IRAN’S 2019 IRAN SUMMITTHE PALACE HOTEL, NEW YORK CITY
SEPTEMBER 25, 2019
SENATOR LIEBERMAN:  Thank you.  Thank you.  It’s a great honor to welcome Secretary Pompeo here.  I do want to note there are a lot of honored guests, but I want to pay particular attention and welcome His Excellency Thamer al-Sabhan, the minister of Gulf affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; His Excellency Ambassador Yousef Otaiba from the United Arab Emirates; and His Excellency Ron Dermer, ambassador from the state of Israel.  (Applause.)  And I believe Brian Hook may be here somewhere, who’s the Secretary’s Special Envoy for Iran.  (Applause.)  And you don’t know this, don’t believe, but I survived working in the same office with my wife for a couple years in Washington.  (Laughter.)
It’s a great honor to welcome Secretary Pompeo.  We at UANI have long felt that Mike Pompeo is a kindred spirit.  From his days in Congress to his time as director of the CIA to his service as our Secretary of State, he has demonstrated principled leadership, strong leadership on Iran, based on a crystal-clear-eyed understanding of the unique threat Iran represents to the United States, to our allies in the region, and to the world.
This week, however, we at UANI feel a special kinship with Secretary Pompeo.  On Sunday, Foreign Minister Zarif of Iran called Secretary Pompeo an economic terrorist and said – right, right – (applause) – so this is the old Roosevelt line: they love you for the enemies you made – (laughter) – and suggested that the Secretary be put on trial at the International Criminal Court in Geneva.
Yesterday, Mr. Secretary, the Iran foreign ministry began proceedings to designate UANI as a terrorist organization.  So to be designated as terrorists by the world’s biggest terrorist state and the largest state sponsor of terrorism is truly the world turned upside down.  But I will say to you that it makes us proud to stand with you, not in the dock in Geneva, where we will not be, but to continue the fight against this radical, extremist, violent country.
The truth is that these ridiculous actions by high officials in the Islamic Republic of Iran are, in my opinion, the actions of a desperate, failing nation.  And for this, as I said in my earlier opening remarks, the credit really goes to President Donald Trump and his administration, which has taken us from the failures of the JCPOA to the successes of their new policy of withdrawing from the JCPOA, applying maximum economic pressure, and the result is that Iran is really on the run.  And thank God our European allies two days ago returned to our side, and together now, hopefully we will move forward.
At every step of the way, from the CIA to the Department of State, Secretary Pompeo has been at the heart of the Trump administration’s successful turnaround policy.  He knows better than anyone what we know as well, that while the momentum is now on our side, there are very difficult and complicated moments ahead and decisions to be – to make.  But we are confident and take comfort from the fact that you, Mr. Secretary, will continue to be in leadership on this and so many other matters of concern to the United States in the days and years ahead.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m really honored to introduce to you the 70th Secretary of State of the United States, the Honorable Mike Pompeo.  (Applause.)
SECRETARY POMPEO:  Good morning.  Good morning, everyone.  Thank you.  Good morning.  Thank you, Senator Lieberman, for inviting me back to address now for the second year in a row.  Mark, it’s great to be with you as well.  You guys got the comfy seats here this morning.
I also want to welcome a few special guests.  As Senator Lieberman said, Minister al-Sabhan of Saudi Arabia; the ambassadors of Bahrain and Ambassador Dermer; Susan Azizadeh of the Iranian American Jewish Federation.  (Applause.)  Yeah, thanks.  (Laughter.)  And Maziar Bahari, a great champion for human rights in Iran.  And I want to say Salaam to all the Iranians listening today.  I have much that I want to say to the Iranian people this morning.
I want you all to imagine the scene in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia earlier this month.  It was a bit before sunrise, missiles and drones rained down on Saudi Arabia’s largest oil processing site.  There were many internationals – foreigners, Americans – not too terribly far away.  Workers heard the blasts, and so did their children.  By the way, my son didn’t think it was as funny as you did that I was going to be at the International Criminal Court.  (Laughter.)  Although he did say he would like to attend at least the opening.  (Laughter.)
Back to the serious.  Their children were the – thank God there was no loss of life, but there could easily have been.  In that sense, everyone in the region, indeed in the world, got lucky.
I immediately called this an “act of war”, one sovereign state against another, because it was.  It was an attack on Saudi Arabia, a sovereign state.  It was indeed also an attack on the global economy.
Some said that that was a rush to judgment, that announcement.  History – like, six days’ worth of history – has proven we were right, that the United States had it right.  We didn’t rush to act.  We were patient.  We called our partners.  We established the facts.  We wanted to make sure everybody had the opportunity to see what we knew.
And as Senator Lieberman said this week, Britain, France, and Germany released a statement with their conclusions.
They said, quote, “It is clear to us” – these three nations, “It is clear to us that Iran bears responsibility for this attack.  There is no other plausible explanation.”
They went on, “These attacks may have been against Saudi Arabia, but they concern all countries and increase the risk of a major conflict.”
And they declared that, “The time has come for Iran to accept negotiation on a long-term framework for its nuclear program as well as on issues related to regional security.”
Some have said that they’ve joined the United States.  I think they have joined reality.  I think they’ve joined with the facts as we all see them.  And this is progress.  Nations are standing for that reality.  They’re calling it what it is, something that we all in this room have known for a long time.
This is the beginning of an awakening – to the truth that Iran is the aggressor and not the aggrieved, as they claim as they run around Washington – or, excuse me, run around New York this week.
And that is what American democracy and diplomacy has achieved.
When President Trump exited the JCPOA, the nuclear deal, he didn’t just take a stand for American national securities.  He said at the time the deal only made “Iran’s [bloody] ambitions…more brazen.”
Indeed, Iran has a long history of unprovoked aggression, 40 years now, against its own people, against its neighbors, and indeed against civilization itself.
The list is long.  From murdering and torturing their own people, to killing Americans from Lebanon to Iraq, to harboring al-Qaida even today, Iran has rampaged for four decades, and sadly with too few consequences.
During this nuclear deal – during the nuclear deal negotiations, Iran’s malign activity didn’t abate one bit, although that was the theory of the case.  Thanks to Israel, we now know they were also protecting, hiding, and preserving their nuclear knowhow at that very same time.
Indeed, after the deal was signed and the pallets of cash were delivered, they continued backing Hizballah, Hamas, the Houthis, and Shia militias throughout the region.  The world too much appeased them, and then underwrote their terrorism.
When President Trump took office, Iran had not joined the community of nations, as was predicted by the previous administration.
What we found:  We found a refugee crisis in Syria, thanks to Iran’s support for Assad; a humanitarian quagmire in Yemen, thanks to Iran’s arms transfer to the Houthis; a fragile Iraq, thanks to Iran’s support of Shia militias; an Iranian client state, also known as Lebanon.  We saw Iranians jailed and tortured; American citizens, and citizens of many other countries as well, wrongfully detained.
Just yesterday, President Trump drew a distinction between those who think “they are destined to rule over others,” or “those people and nations who want only to rule themselves.”  It is abundantly clear into which camp the Islamic Republic of Iran falls.
That’s why last year, after we exited the nuclear deal, we began to execute President Trump’s strategy – shorthand it has been deemed the maximum pressure campaign.  But it’s much more than that.
We began to cut off the revenues the regime uses to fund death and destruction, and we’ve seen the benefits of that.  We began to pressure the regime to make a real deal, one that ensures the world’s most reckless regime never possesses history’s most destruction weapons systems.
And as the President said yesterday, “It is time for Iran’s leaders to step forward and stop threatening other countries, and focus on building up their own country,” for their own people.  “It is time for Iran’s leaders to finally put those people, the Iranian people first.”  And I’m confident – I’m confident that the Iranian people will demand that as well.  (Applause.)  And when they do, you should know this administration will support them.  (Applause.)
Look, we’ve implemented unprecedented measures to achieve our goal of peace:
We’ve sanctioned the top-level perpetrators for their blood – for the blood they have on their hands.  The supreme leader, Foreign Minister Zarif, and the IRGC are just a few of them.
We’ve hit the Iranian petrochemical sector, the metals sector, the banking sector with sanctions to deprive the regime of billions of dollars, and our enforcement of those sanctions has been and will continue to be relentless.
Thousands of companies around the world are complying with our sanctions because they know their success lies with America and not with the Ayatollah.
And by sanctioning the regime’s petroleum sector, we’ve cut off Iran’s number-one source of revenue.  More than 30 nations have brought Iranian oil imports to zero.  And going forward, our sanctions on the Iranian oil sector will deprive the regime of as much as $50 billion each and every year.  It’s worth noting those sanctions, at their peak, have been in place only since the beginning of May, now some five months.  There is much work yet to be done.
And we’re blessed.  American power means that no other nation could have brought such staggering pressure to bear.  This unprecedented pressure too is forcing the regime into panicked aggression, as we’ve seen public lies.
They’re calling every play in their playbook to goad us into conflict, to create division among nations, and extort them into action.  And you should know their playbook won’t succeed.
This summer, Iran attacked oil tankers in international waterways, it shot down an American UAV, and defied and threatened to defy its nuclear commitments, and it continues to declare death to Israel. And just yesterday, the regime added your organization – as Senator Lieberman said, a peaceful nonprofit ‒ to its list of terror groups, just like it did to our friends at FDD a few weeks before this.
That’s outrageous.  It’s outrageous even for this regime, which indeed does mean you are doing something right.
And Iran just flat out lies, and each of us needs to call them on it every time we see it.
I flipped on Fox News last night and saw President Rouhani speaking to Chris Wallace, an odd thing in its own right.  (Laughter.)
He claimed that – Rouhani claimed that Iran defeats terrorism wherever it goes. (Laughter).
He claimed, “certainly, undoubtedly” that Israel supports ISIS.
And incredibly, he said – and I must quote this – he said, quote, “Iran is a country that has brought peace in the region,” end of quote.  And yet too many people listen to Rouhani and Zarif, and take their words as relevant, or important, or material, or accurate.
Rouhani is desperate to deceive because the world is awakening to the truth.  The truth is that Iran responds to strength and not to supplication.  President Trump knows that.
More and more nations are beginning to stand up to Iran’s thuggish behavior, and disengaging economically.  We will ensure that all of them do.  They’re coming to realize, to quote the President, “No responsible government should subsidize Iran’s [bloodlust].”
We’ve made progress.  France has now banned Mahan Air from flying in and out of its country.
Germany, too, has banned those planes from landing on their soil.
Argentina recently designated Hizballah as a terrorist group.
And the United Kingdom, said that it would no longer abide the false distinction between Hizballah’s political and military wings.
Greece has refused to let an Iranian supertanker carrying oil to Syria refuel in its ports.
The Netherlands, for the first time, announced that Iran was likely behind the murder of two Dutch citizens who were Iranian dissidents.
Australia, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the UK have all joined our efforts to protect freedom of navigation in the Straits of Hormuz.
I was with the GCC nations yesterday.  They know the threat Iran poses to peace and are united around stopping it.  It was clear, too, when President Trump met with them yesterday, that they’re prepared to do what it takes to ensure stability in their region.
Now I know, too, that there will be more than a few talking heads explode when I say this, but this is effective multilateralism.  It’s what the Trump administration has tried to do, multilateralism based in reality and facts, and with clarity of purpose.
Countries are showing themselves to be what President Trump lauded yesterday, “sovereign and independent nations who protect their citizens, [respect] their neighbors, and honor the differences that make each country special and unique” in its own right.
This is what American diplomacy has achieved; there’s more work to be done.
But countries are indeed awakening to the truth that the more Iran lashes out, the greater our pressure will and should be.
And you can count on America to lead; each nation can.  As President Trump said yesterday, “As long as Iran’s menacing behavior continues, sanctions will not be lifted, they will be tightened.”  That path forward begins now with two new actions:
First, we’re taking new action to disentangle the IRGC from the Iranian economy.  The United States will intensify our efforts to educate countries and companies on the risks of doing business with IRGC entities, and we will punish them if they persist in defiance of our warnings.
Second, today we are imposing sanctions on certain Chinese entities for knowingly transporting oil from Iran contrary to United States sanctions.  (Applause.)  Importantly, we’re also imposing sanctions on the executive officers of those companies as well.  And we’re telling China and all nations, know that we will sanction every violation of sanctionable activity.
So as I close this morning, I ask responsible nations:  Will you publicly condemn Iran’s malign activity?  We need you to; the world does.
Will you work with us to restore deterrents?  We need you to; the world does.
Will you help us protect freedom of navigation in global trade?  We need you to; the world does.
Most importantly, will you help us get Iran back to the negotiating table?  We need your help; the world needs it.
And will you stand with us alongside of Israel?  We need you to; the world needs you to join us.  (Applause.)
Our goal is very straightforward, although not simple.  But we know diplomacy is working, our resolve is strong, and our eyes our open.  The awakening, I think, in the world, has begun.
To quote the President one last time – at least one last time this morning – “All nations, every nation has a duty to act.”  What will you do?
Thank you.
God bless you.
And may God bless the people of Iran.  (Applause.)
