President Donald Trump Message on Nowruz, 2019
I send my warmest wishes to those in the United States and around the world observing the ancient holiday of Nowruz.
Nowruz is a special time of thanksgiving and celebration for many across western and central Asia and especially in Iran to gather and reflect on the blessings of the previous year as they prepare with a renewed spirit of optimism for the coming of spring Sadly the Iranian people are once again unable to share fully in the joy of this occasion. This year as they have each year for the past four decades they mark the arrival of spring under the heavy burden of the oppression of their country’s ruthless and corrupt regime.The Iranian people desire to reclaim their country’s proud history expressive culture and rightful place on the world stage. They deserve a government that is accountable to them and that treats them with dignity and respect The Iranian regime, however rejects these principles. As a result every day life for the people of Iran is tragically at odds with the true meaning of Nowruz, which is Farsi for new day and carries tremendous hope for a day when good triumphs over evil and sorrow gives way to joy.
