Angered, Bakhtiar made a speech of his own. Reaffirming himself as the legitimate leader, he declared that:Iran has one government.

I will not give permission to Ayatollah Khomeini to form an interim government. In life there comes a time when one must stand firm and say no…. I have never seen a book about an Islamic republic; neither has anyone else for that matter…. Some of the people surrounding the Ayatollah are like violent vultures….
