Selected quotes:

My message to you is about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the way to end it.

We do not object to a long-term truce with you

In this truce, both parties will enjoy security and stability and we will build Iraq and Afghanistan, which were destroyed by the war.

If you have a genuine will to achieve security and peace, we have already answered you.

As for us, we do not have anything to lose.

even if I taste the bitterness of death.

I fear to be humiliated or betrayed.

Peace be upon those who follow guidance.
