President Obama has sent a video message to Iranians for their Nowruz celebrations, including a celebration of the tradition, a quote from the poet Hafez…and a political overture over the talks for a comprehensive nuclear agreement:
We even created our own Haft Sin [traditional table for Nowruz] representing our hopes for the New Year. This year that includes our hopes for the Islamic Republic and the international community, including the United States….
This year we have the best opportunity in decades to pursue a different future between our countries.
