Former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif:

We have a problem. We have always lived in the past.

Either we brag about our past glory, or we keep repeating its failures to each other.

The result is that we have become prisoners of the past. We cannot detach ourselves from it and move towards the future.

Until we say goodbye to the past, we will not be able to achieve the things we are talking about, such as becoming an economy similar to Spain.
