IRIB: "IRI seeks after peace in region"

This one seems obliquely defensive. Is the first paragraph a defense of Iran's role in the Lebanese war? Is the statement "dialog can help settle issues" a reference to the nuclear issue? No telling. This one is admirably free of the usual grammatical problems at any rate.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday although Iran has borne the brunt of numerous wars in the Middle East, it has never created crisis and insecurity in the region.

He made the remarks during his meeting with visiting President of the World Interparliamentary Union, Pier Ferdinando Casini, in Tehran.

The only way to establish stability and tranquility is to tackle the root causes of problems facing the world today, Ahmadinjead said, adding dialog can help settle issues.

Ahmadinejad cautioned that America and Britain seek to provoke divisions among independent states to advance their own interests, adding the United Nations should be reinforced to administer justice for all nations.

Casini, for his part, said Iran plays a pivotal role in the region, adding the international community needs Iran for promotion of peace and stability.
