- Iranian government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham told reporters on Monday, saying that Iran would only use its vast oil resources as a weapon of last resort in the international dispute over its nuclear program.

"This issue (oil) is the ultimate (weapon)." Adding that there "is no need to bring up such issues, and the conditions are good for a diplomatic solution."
- Gholam Hossein Elham told reporters on Monday stressing that oil is not the Iranian's "preliminary device. We have diplomatic means for dialogue and we encourage implementing peace."
