Statement

Today, I send my best wishes to every American celebrating Nowruz.

Nowruz marks the start of the Persian New Year, celebrates the arrival of spring, and acknowledges the eternal triumph of light over darkness. This ancient holiday also serves as a yearly reflection of the power of new beginnings.

As we continue our righteous mission in the Middle East, I pray that this Nowruz will promote the causes of peace and human dignity on American shores and all across the world, and that the year ahead will be filled with many blessings.

Nowruz Pirouz!
