President Obama released a special video message for all
those celebrating Nowruz. Translated "New Day," Nowruz marks the arrival
of spring and the beginning of the New Year for millions in Iran and
other communities around the world. This year, the President wanted to
send a special message to the people and government of Iran on Nowruz,
acknowledging the strain in our relations over the last few decades.
"But at this holiday we are reminded of the common humanity that binds
us together," he says.
After committing his administration to a future of honest and respectful diplomacy, he continues on to address Iran's leaders directly: "You, too, have a choice. The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations. You have that right -- but it comes with real responsibilities, and that place cannot be reached through terror or arms, but rather through peaceful actions that demonstrate the true greatness of the Iranian people and civilization. And the measure of that greatness is not the capacity to destroy, it is your demonstrated ability to build and create." |
