4. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Iran:
"We are honest with all countries in the world and with the people of Iran. We have stated repeatedly that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons and is ready for any verification of that. The U.S. and Europe have built a long wall of distrust with their words, which will impede the progress of nuclear talks. Iran will never surrender to their excessive demands, and will never yield to injustice and aggression."

6. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Hassan, resident (full name not given) (partially overlaid with shot 7):
"The U.S. is not trustworthy. They change their words constantly. Last time, Iran was negotiating, but eventually, they betrayed and attacked Iran. The U.S. wants to plunder Iran's oil and other resources and just take them away. Its purpose is to divide Iran."

Iranians marked the 47th anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution with celebrations across the country on Wednesday.
In Tehran, a crowd gathered at the iconic Azadi Tower, holding national flags to show their support for the nation.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a speech at the anniversary event, and reiterated that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons.
"We are honest with all countries in the world and with the people of Iran. We have stated repeatedly that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons and is ready for any verification of that. The U.S. and Europe have built a long wall of distrust with their words, which will impede the progress of nuclear talks. Iran will never surrender to their excessive demands, and will never yield to injustice and aggression," Pezeshkian said.
Military hardware, including drones and missiles, was on display at the site of the president's speech.
As tensions simmer between the U.S. and Iran, the two sides held negotiations last week in Oman, eight months after talks broke off following U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities last June.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is considering sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East for possible military action against Iran if negotiations fail.
Iranian residents attending Wednesday's anniversary event said they don't trust the United States when it engages in negotiations and ramps up tensions at the same time.
"The U.S. is not trustworthy. They change their words constantly. Last time, Iran was negotiating, but eventually, they betrayed and attacked Iran. The U.S. wants to plunder Iran's oil and other resources and just take them away. Its purpose is to divide Iran," said Hassan, a Tehran resident.
