President Obama's Nowruz message to Iranian people

[RainbowLogic]

And yet Obama ignores his own 32% approval rating and children in tents and streets all around his own. Keep in mind that Obama said the same things about Gaddafi who had an approval rating of 84%. RIP

[chufuss]

The President spoke about what? Nowhat?...I just heard him say New Year, so I guess HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

[TristinDelaney]

Thank you Mr president. Irans people thank you with our hearts obama. Our children, our young ones, have suffered for too long. We want our freedom freedom. Thank you 4 letting the world know that our government wants nothing more but to see iran demolish and our beautiful people to suffer. june of 2009 our voices came out, we hope that that was enough to show the world we ARE NOTHING LIKE OUR CRUEL GOVERNMENT. HAPPY NEW YEAR OBAMA.

[Stingico]

Iran Zindabaaad. America Murdabaad

There hasn't been an American president with this much courage since Lincoln. Thank you President Obama.

[hopaloop]

great bullshit from the master of deception and compulsive liar Barry Soetorro. is it me or is life becoming a sitcom.

You all love thsi guy? Wait until he has removed all nukes out of the world, and see what will happen (what he will do).

[eilberon]

hes amother fucker

i swear hes not christian hes fuckin muslim cuz of his fuckin name (hussein)

[bashie34]

He is more christian than you , you redneck. I though being a christian mean actually reading the bible and attending church which he does . You on the other hand think you are christian and do neither . who is christian? maybe attend church than judge or are you his pastor who still holding a grudge? FBI WILL COME FOR YOU SOON.

[american1marines]

i dont feel likie listening to this socialist

akheey, how sweet!

[zemogman]

Aww...Diplomacy. That's nice...

[flushitdown]

Obama is such a nice guy!!!! Thank you Obama! We in Azerbaijan celebrate Novruz as well :)

[rayraygunner]

President Obama is a great man! As an Iranian, I am happy to see this. He is being realistic (and optimistic) in regards to this matter (I.R of Iran). People have to start looking at Iran more clearly and not be brain washed by the "bullshit".

[AsemanBiEnteha27]

As an Iranian, I am deeply appalled that President Obama has extended his greetings to the leaders of the Islamic Republic, a government long dedicated to the eradication of pre-Islamic Iranian traditions. I am also appalled by the Iranian Americans who voted for him. You have done a grave injustice for the people of Iran!

[hasanmooiejasaan]

ehmm its newroz

[smokeifyougottem]

So...........When will our military take over this "socialist" government and give back our country to its citizens???

[Mahmoodona]

hey shadgooz, alright shadooogz you hate Islamic republic of Iran IRAN IS NOT ISLAMIC REPUBLIC it is very interesting thing so what is it you think?? IMPERIAL Country :P you are ( THE IRANIAN ) ha ???? and you will flush it down the toilets I'm not from Iran, but I am telling you little things have a foolish dream in your toilets

[tgwchicago]

The prophecy said this person would do this. He is Mabus.

[turk305]

Obama is smarter then you all think he is... You all are going to be surprised when he exposes certain things to the public.

[ebutuvideo]

Listening to this man inspires me to be a better person. Clearly not everyone will respond to his words of peace and brotherhood positively. Sadly, some hearts are filled with too much hate and skepticism to resonate with such words of peace and good will. Men of peace must continue to speak out in love and friendship despite the naysayers. That is what leadership is about. Thank God for a President that is willing to lead in a new direction. God bless America and God bless Barak our President.

[inmyculo]

fuck conservative douche bags

[badtown88]

Amen to that.

[shadgooz]

hosein obama--you suck....

sure you got to return the favour to islamic republic because it financed your god damn campaign.

IRAN IS NOT ISLAMIC REPUBLIC

IRAN HAS BEEN OCCUPIED BY ISLAMIC REPUBLIC 9WHICH CARTER AND ENGLAND CREATED) THERE IS NO ASSOCIATION BETWEEN IRANIANS (FROM ARYAN RACE) TO THESE ARAB BASTARDS WHICH YOU (AMERICA) PUT IN POWER IN IRAN...

WE (THE IRANIAN) HATE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC AND WILL FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET SOON

[aliville]

your dam right bro!!!! This guy is a WOLF IN SHEEP´S CLOTHING! p l e a s e don´t trust this guy. i read all this comments below and i have noticed that THEY ALL HAVE BEEN MANIPULATED AGAIN. this guy is much more dangerous like his predecessors. God save our children.

[Armin600]

IT is people like you that need a life. The muslim world will remain broken and apart with pathetic mindsets like yours. This is the FIRST EVER US President that has tried to make amends. GIve him a chance, you brainless moron.

[hkart]

Think about it. Iran is "Islamic" while Turkey is Secular.....2 neighbor countrys but the regimes are opposite

[Ajdarz]

bull shit obama is just a figure not a decider,

[ezekielthemack]

President Obama is a great, great man.

[UFCaz]

Thank you, Mr. President.

[UFCaz]

All around this small world Now the people demand to listen These truths self-evident Philosophical evolution As the old die out The young see a better way Human rights guaranteed to all Without regard to race, I say The beginning of the end Of the ignorance that once could sin The tyrant to power His day is done In the worldwide revolution Yeah, the peaceful revolution.lyrics. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible,will make violent revolution inevitable.JFK

[lizajanejoeclark]

Good on yer, President Obama! You're on the right track!

[illnacord]

Yes. Communication solves issues before they become problems.

[bionic700]

I see only kurds and jews that start a flame war in this commenting section, I wonder why? Is it because kurdush militia has been training by isralelis to attack Iran in case of regime change? hmmm....

[Kallomy]

whoever u people are, please have some respect, all he wants is paece amongst us people.

"Nowruz mobarak" I am afghani, and I do not wish to offend anyone, but there is no superior race or religion, everyone has their beliefs, we cannot change what Allah(swt) has created. Our prophet (pbuh), led us to this belief. We all have differences, and once you think about it, the race and religion difference has changed the world.

If people didn't mind the difference, the world would be a better place

[bionic700]

as he said relations has been strained for a long time. Now we all should change. But it is true that Obama signed under new sanctions against Iran weeks ago. So two face, yes, a new era, definitely

[ZedYahood2]

bionic700;

Obama just signed sanctions on the Iranian people two days before sending this Happy New Year message! Don't be fooled! It is the action that counts not words! Words are cheap!

[bionic700]

If mr Obama is ready to build half of the bridge we Iranians will build the other half...A great speech, I hope it is backed by action as well...in any case...a great day indeed.

[cortassix]

watch the obama deception!!!!

Obama is a big fat liar! He will sell the world anything, cause that's what they pay him for.

but if you look behind the curtain, it's again the Bankers that are planning our future. not your black saviour!!! Fuck Obama!

[mmtot]

The Sheeple don't want to here it . They like being suckers man.

[o0Ezri0o]

Thanks! Thank's for an understatement of the truth of the matter that could not be made better. Thank's for making us your slaves in this perfidious game, mate...Thank you for letting the world live under your big American flag. The one-World-government is coming, and soon noone will be able to resist it. I salute to this...;(

[baksor]

Thank you Mr President for respecting us.

I hope this New Year will bring the two greatest country together.

[ahhkeyy]

Well done OBAMA what a speech, even though i dont live in america i have to say id be proud to have such a president ruleing my nation.

[GreatSatan1]

DEATH TO IRAN

[ZedYahood2]

GreatSatan1 Death To Israel

[arabscuuum]

@great satan death to you

[ZedYahood2]

arabscuuum; i am with you and against the mother F... Saitans! All of them!

[TKollaKid]

LOL I cant believe he said it in Persian at the end. That was awesome. This guy has a good head on his shoulder. Could you ever picture George Bush doing something like this? lol The Iranian government do NOT represent the Iranian people!!!!

[arabscuuum]

lol they do represent

[farnoushisbrown]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA

kiss ass

[motesc]

we have to tule with a iron fist! iran is probobly cracking up . kindness for weakness

[kkmmaaee]

This is the end of hope for all Iranians who thought things will get better in Iran, as ms Clinton said about China, the UAS will ignore the Human right situation in China, for a bit of economical help, the same is applied to Iran, this means the dictatorship of Iran can do what they want to its people and minorities, Obama was the wrong choice.

[mmtot]

Obama deception . Alex jones Watch it , ir be a sucker.

[shellius]

Very interesting video and it's great to know Obama has some common sense. As for Alex Jones -- he's a publicity hog, and he has ZERO credibility. He's anti-science and possibly slightly retarded, (no offense to real retarded people).

[mmtot]

What anti-science does he push ?

[rosaeyeliner]

I wish everyone a happy happy Naw Ruz! May the new year bring only happiness. And I wish Barak Obama all the best in the year to come.

[LMFAOhahaUTinFoilHat]

Calling slick President is still just wrong he is a Bildeberg Group puppet ,see new movie -The Obama Deception

[Nedim76]

This is a brainwash and fraud. This is Israel's message, not America's message, wake up peeple...its another DISSARM OR WE BOMB policy but this wont be as easy as Iraq, America will be burnt if it touches here...

[rak000]

Wow Things like this make me very proud to be an American. What a great representative of our country.

God Bless Obama!!!!!!!!!!!

[yavart]

what is this Jew Muslim Christian stuf !? I am Iranian and ive learned ALL PEOPLE ARE THE SAME. Zedyahood2 i dont know who you are but youv got some serious issues .

[ZedYahood2]

yavart; yes I have some serious issues; Thanks for noticing!

[ZedYahood2]

President Obama if there still is a Nowruz is because we did not give in to you and people like you! If we had we all would be Jews now (Like you!)!

Fuck YOU!

[celaya4ever]

Wake up! There are other leaders in the globe, not just your land. Do you want evidence? Many people support them. I bet your not in the educational level of Obama. You're like Hugo Chávez, Kim Il-Jong and Hitler. Best fix your brain and go to sleep ; maybe you can find there your American Dream. God Bless Barack Hussein Obama.

[ZedYahood2]

celaya4ever; are you a Jew?

[celaya4ever]

You've been brainwashed like many monsters in North Korea. USA is a fraud as a economic leader (without time to talk about ethincs on its stupid neoliberalism) and France is a fraud as a leader of the Human Rights (today, that country is one of the most racist places in the world). They're a disgrace as political leaders. George W. Bush received a low approval percent like Nicolas Sarkozy of his people.

[ZedYahood2]

celaya4ever ; Sarkozy  is a jew, did you know that?

[ZedYahood2]

celaya4ever ; Sarkozy and his wife are Zionist jews; did you know that?

[ZedYahood2]

celaya4ever; Fuck you!

[miamibaku]

ZedYahood2, People like YOU give bad name to Muslims.

[TruthExposed123]

please brother lets not me so much of an ignorant .. atleast Obama is giving his hands out and definately he is not like the other USA presidents who did not even talk with the Persian..

[ZedYahood2]

TruthExposed123 the wolf that comes in lamb's clothing is more dangerous. Only a fool would trust the Zionist America.

[rak000]

Whats with all the racism ZedYahood? where r u from that u hate everyone so much

[ZedYahood2]

rak000 ;

I am a Jew, I believe that I am chosen by god and the rest of you are just animals created in human shape to serve me! God also promised me your land and farm and home! Do you think this is racist? Complain to God!

[dongile]

you're not only a jew but also a pig for that comment. there will be no peace with pigs like you in this world.

[ZedYahood2]

dongile; really? So what are YOU going to do? Suck a Jew's dick?

[dongile]

wow- feeling quite sorry you or anyone close to you. yikes!

[TruthExposed123]

brother even i support my Iranian muslim brother just as much i support my own country .. n i personally think that the Persian race is the most influencial history in the human history .. but still i would say that this time America and Barack Obama is there for a change .. so lets see what happens .. i hope he can bring peace n serenity thorugh out the world .. Salam brother : ) ...

[ZedYahood2]

TruthExposed123;

Salam to you;

I do not wait to see what is going to happen! Only fools would do that! Never wait to see what your enemy is going to do! Suppose they wanted to kill you, would you wait and watch them? Be prepared for unexpected!

PS: Anybody can call me brother but only those who fight alongside me are my real brothers. I hope you are a real brother.

[TruthExposed123]

brother ZedYahood2

Come a look at my channel and watch my comments against other people who disgrace n passes ignorant comments Islam .. Inshallah u will come to know that i am a brother of ur faith who is there to fight along side with you : ) ..Every ready and ever there till my last breath .. Salam brother : )...

[miamibaku]

Peace is the only hope that we all have!!! GOD BLESS BARACK OBAMA!!!

[DrDTroxel]

Thank you Mr. President! Unity of thought and purpose can only come about if two parties are communicating. This is a great step in that direction.

-Dr Troxel

[FreedomFi8er]

Yes we can change together...this is a great step towards peace and co-existance of both nations. I am extremely excited and look forward to a peaceful future for both nations.

[k3rlen]

he is the greatest

[hfntfy]

yeahhhh Obama rocksssss..

he is a great president, i love him.. ***WE CAN CHENGE THE WORLD***

[Zoltinho]

Thaaaaank u Barack! :D

[spinhook888]

I think we chose the right president this time.

[sorami7208]

hi ,, im from Iran... thanks a lot mr.president its very pleasure for me but USA & Israel are not DEAN !

if he said a poem from Saadi for relationship but why american soldiers are in IRAQ yet?

my friends,,Iranian Respect to all of american people but not agree with unjustifiable policy

Best Regards

Happy nowruz to all Iranian friends

[steelsmg]

Sorami,

thank you for the well wishes on this new year. Israel & the US are in Iraq becuase your closed minded extremist goverment is involved in peptrating hate and living in an era fit for 1500 years ago. Please open your mind and stop putting your biggoted, small minded and ridiculous ideas on the web.

Good day.

[Nikki6532]

No, Israel and the US are in Iraq because George Bush and the rest of his administration are power hungry liars desperate for free oil but not willing to pay for it, we are told we are in Iraq looking for weapons of mass destruction.. if after 8 years we havent found any either they dont have them and we should leave as our own country is a hell hole, or we have shitty people looking for them.

[steelsmg]

Granted I agree that Oil had something to do with the fact that we are there, what Sorami is saying is exactly the reaon why the Iranian govt is still in power, killing and torturing its citizens on a daily basis without affording them any representation of any osrt nor an avenue to defend themselves against any accusations, truw or false. BTW.... We, the US refine 85% of the worlds Gasoline, that is why it is cheaper here than anywhere else.

[nedasal]

You are such a great man Obama!!! We, all persians love you and support you :)

Thank you!

[ijupiter]

happy new Year and happy norooz to all ppl in the world.

Obama is a great leader and he`ll lead america to a new era!

[ladybahai]

Greetings all. I think our new Pres. has an uncanny ability to reach across cultures and recognize diversity within cultures. I am an American of Scottish and Dutch background born in the US who celebrates Naw-Ruz as the 1st day of the year for people in the Baha'i Faith. Today I am going to plant some flower seeds in honor of the new Spring & bake some cookies for a party tomorrow.

[Danielsback]

Allahu akbar...this made me happy

[ThePersianGulf]

Happy New Year!

Wishing all the people around the world to share love and peace.

WOW... Watching him quote Saadi and pronounce "Eside Shoma Mobarak", brought tears to my eyes. After 30 yrs of sour relations between two great nations it is so incredibly refreshing to see a Leader in the position of power, extending a human dialogue. I hope that the leaders in Iran (if they have any smarts) appreciate, notice and have a eliquent response.

The Children of Adam are Limbs to Each Other, having been created of One Essense -- Saadi

[sagun111]

Thank God! This message has certainly added cheer to our heart! God is Glory! God is Great!

[arminarmin1976]

He is the man.the man who can make difference in world.

[2Khiki]

Isn't he the greatest President? He is so sincere in his Nowruz message that, it reminded me of my childhood when we all sat around the Haft Seen table,in our brand new clothes, happy and excited watching the big clock on TV and counting seconds till the start of New Year and then, messages of joy and prosperity from our King and Queen.

[eksdem]

How many Iranians will get to see this? YouTube, Facebook and 5 million other websites are blocked in Iran since last Fall.

[FuserLimon]

This was trasmitted to iranian people through sattelite... so they saw

[Lsmaker112]

No! Youtube aint blocked, facebook aint blocked either!

[ElenaPitt123]

Loved it!

[mojgane]

I am really proud of you, president Obama! This is the first time, I feel so happy having a President like you. I was in France and I didn't like Sarko. I don't consider Ahmadi Nejad as a president of Iran as well. Hopefuly, all together can make this world a better place! Vive la paix! Long live the peace!

[irooninights]

love you TONS

[alXander888]

I just hope that the liars dont get better at lying. I hope he is telling the truth.

[darkmetalpmx]

He is a man who really deserve to be the president of the United states. The important thing is respecting the cultures and traditions. And this shows the right choice of American people for choosing this man to be the president. For the first time the main factor was not the colour of skin but they really chose the person that deserved to be a president.

[NICKPARSA]

We love you president OBAMA.

[vjsawvj]

Happy Norooz!

[AlmazB]

This is beautiful Happy Now Ruz to everyone!

[crimthann86]

This is good..

[eksdem]

Has Iran lifted its 2006 barring of YouTube?

See tinyurl

[WatchThemForFun]

Happy Persian New Year!!!!!! And have a great year everybody!!!

[DieLaurenDie]

Does "Nowruz" remind anyone else of 24's "Behrooz"?

[tafagodel]

To all of you who are attacking this message please take a step back and think about it. When is the last time the President of the United States wished the Iranians a Happy Norooz. I sure as hell don't remember G.W. doing this. We should embrace this gesture and give him a chance to change things one step at a time.

[ba2kbabak]

can some one tell this guy IRANIAN and Iran government are 2 deferent thing ,we never elected that government and accepting IRAN Mullahs as Iranian leader and ignoring all the tortures and human violation in IRAN is ignorance

Thanks for your New Year speech but as Iranian citizen I like to have some support for our Human right In IRAN not support for bunch of Mullahs , we dont even have right to talk in our own country and now you asking for them to respect others? Good luck

[millyUT]

I agree that Iranians and Iran gov. are two different things... but, we DID choose our government, however we didn't know of our MISFORTUNE future and our RETARDED leader and president !!!!

[mank711]

I'm sure the same can be said for the Americans and President Bush

[kiwali]

happy new year to all Persians :-)

[Andybaby]

It's a bit hypocritical to accuse Iran of making 'terror', and 'threats', when the US seeks to dominate the world, with 100's of military bases across the globe.

[fahimeh13]

you are a great man

[mmojiz]

Thank God that there is sum1 from usa talking about peace after a long time.

[cplusplus84]

Thanks Obama. It is my hope that every Iranian will embrace this message with great hope and much appreciation.

I'm happy to see that the diplomatic issues between the U.S. and Iran, from the toppling of Mossadegheh to the hostage crisis hasnt prevented your administration from reaching out to the people in Iran and showing interest to coexist and cooperate in terms that are beneficial to both nations.

[freefrominfluence]

Wonderful him replacing ignorant Bush. He should not be manipulated by lobbies.

Anyone who knows, and knows that he knows, Makes the stead of intelligence leap over the vaults of heaven;

Anyone who does not know, but knows that he does not know, Can bring his lame little donkey to the destination nonetheless;

Anyone who does not know, and does not know that he does not know, Is stuck for ever in double ignorance.

Fantastic! This man has so much love in his heart for all for he knows we are all one. Unity and peace is our future and Obama is one wayshower of many, doing the jobs they came here to do & creating this future. Much support and respect to Obama, president of the USA.

Peace to all

[DinoCorleone]

Cheers to the best president on earth! Loved the end when he speaked Persian :p

[bijansst]

Obama you are the man but you can never talk directly to iran leaders and iranian people. iran leaders are bunch of fucking assholes who know nothing but hate. iranian people have nothing but love for america

[jighiliano87]

This guy is the best president the world has seen in decades! OBAMA, YOU ARE THE BEST! :)

[avestan6]

Goddamit ur good. This is what it feels like to have a great man as the president.

Nowruz piruz everybody

[ManiMiglani]

OBAMA is the man

werd

[kusha010]

Great message! Great man! Hope peace and prosperity prevails in the new year, and the most important issue of violation of human rights in Iran would be concentrated as well.

Slight mistake in the tranlation of the poem by Sa'di. the correct translation would be "The childeren of Adam are limbs to one body" not limbs to each other. This is a common oversight in reading this poem.

[Lucertolaleo85]

Man you are fucking awesome!!!!!

From Italy with love with hope that also the Iranians will be touched by this smart human being

[puredrive61]

wow.. brilliant man he is.
