The President’s Message to the Iranian People

[with Persian captions] President Obama’s special video message for all those celebrating Nowruz, or “New Day.” This year, the President wanted to send a special message to the people and government of Iran, acknowledging the strain in our relations over the last few decades. After committing his administration to a future of honest and respectful diplomacy, he addresses Iran’s leaders directly. (this video is public domain and from The White House) I really think it is neat the Persian captions look so much like English captions. This proves we really are a close people.
