: It is a simple truism that even the NYTimes, can be wrong sometimes (which obviously results in other media & leaders of the world to quoting it). In such cases we will find a conflicting sources, and, according to wikipedia, should evaluate those. This is exactly the case here. There are conflicting reliable sources (one is based USA - Iran's enemy state, the other is identified with the Arab countries). I think that it is quite obvious that the translation was, as demonstrated by the second source, mis-leading & assumptious, especially since it focused entirely on that quote & included the full speech. I'm only seeking the truth, and i insist not to ignore reliable sources. If there is a story here - it should be the story of false accusation and mis-translation. It's quite apparent for those who read the facts
