"Nowruz is our shared cultural heritage, and honoring it across vast regions of the world is our ancient tradition that inspires people to renew their thoughts and ideas, overcome grudges and resentments, and deepen friendships and kindness," he said.

Aggression and crimes cited

Noting that the Iranian nation has been subjected to two illegal US-Israeli aggressions over the past year, the president said that in the days leading up to Nowruz, the country witnessed the continuation of blatant crimes, including the killing of civilians and children, as well as the bombing of hospitals, cultural sites, and historical monuments.

"Yet, with remarkable steadfastness and bravery, Iran defends its independence, national sovereignty, and ancient homeland. Under these circumstances, it is expected that friendly, brotherly, and Muslim governments will not remain indifferent to such indiscriminate lawlessness and historic injustice," he stated.
