Sadegh Zibakalam: I do not believe in something called "Iranian-ness"

I believe in things like the political, social, intellectual, and cultural forces that shape society.

Sadegh Zibakalam: Basically, our view of the past is that we must put people on trial; we say people are either servants or traitors!

We pass judgment so easily; this has become our humanities!

Sadegh Zibakalam: On the one hand, you are faced with a government that says, “Woman, Life, Freedom is a foreign theory”; and on the other hand, you are dealing with a student who says "this time, it’s really over"

Conspiracy theory has eaten away at Iranian society like a canker!

Sadegh Zibakalam: One of the factors behind the underdevelopment of the humanities is the prevalence of conspiracy theories

In 1401, students would tell me, “Professor, don’t be afraid, come out into the streets with us”; this was said by a political science student at the University of Tehran.

Sadegh Zibakalam: If you get accepted to study social sciences at the University of Tehran, what do you want to do? Later, perhaps if you are a member of a martyr’s family or among the self-sacrificers, you might finally become a teacher!

Studying and reading are no longer worthwhile now.

Sadegh Zibakalam: The first step is to acknowledge our backwardness in the humanities.

Blaming sanctions and inflation and so on is more of an excuse; we should first ask ourselves whether we accept the premise of the problem?

Sadegh Zibakalam: We weren't even capable of studying the phenomena and developments in our own country!

Can't you find an Iranian researcher who has worked on America, Japan, and World War II

Sadegh Zibakalam: You cannot imagine how far behind the Americans, the French, and... we are in the humanities!

In the humanities, one cannot see difference with the naked eye.

Messrs. Rouhani, Kharrazi, and Khatami called for a temporary suspension. Dr. Rouhani was proposed to travel to Europe for negotiations, but my view is that someone should come from there and negotiations should be held in Iran.

Hamidreza Taraghi: Increasing people's satisfaction will be the most important priority of the Islamic Republic system.

We must bring our economy to the number one economy in the region.

Hamidreza Taraghi: Those who chanted such slogans (Long live the Shah) are not at all comparable to the population of the country.

We must accept our shortcomings and take the enemy's plan to overthrow the regime into consideration.

Hamidreza Taraghi: We mainly had infiltration within Mr. Rouhani’s negotiating team, who were arrested

What we witnessed in this war, apart from the domestic traitors, cannot be attributed to infiltration in any other way.

Do you remember my question to Nowzari, the head of the First Deputy Prosecutor's Office and Deputy for Supervision and Inspection of the Tehran Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office, about the fate of the case against Gholamreza Tajgardoon?

Hamidreza Taraghi: Mr. Rouhani’s concern is that the country’s atmosphere is moving in a direction where his performance is being called into question; out of fear that this process will move toward a trial, he is making these remarks.

Mr. Rouhani's mistake is that he does not understand the difference between defense and war!

Hamidreza Taraghi: The concept of the new headquarters does not mean that the work will fall into the hands of the military; rather, it means that the work will proceed in coordination with the military forces.

The economy has fallen into the hands of those who are centers of power.
