Yes we can, Iran style

نوسفر | کلیپ همراهی با سخنرانی حسن روحانی در مراسم تنفیذ | حسین دهباشی



.......................

In the clip, unprecedented for an Iranian president, people of all ages play musical instruments and sing to Rouhani's words in Persian, but also in the languages of Iran's minorities, including Kurdish and Arabic. The clip also includes sound bites from prominent figures in Iran's modern history including Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and the founder of the Islamic Republic Ruhollah Khomeini.

The main takeaway of the clip seems to be unity:

Let space and opportunity be given to all Iranians who are devoted to this land. Let those who are competent serve the nation. Let their hearts be cleansed from hatred. Let reconciliation replace anger and friendship replace enmity.

Rouhani said his government wants happiness to return to the Iranian people's lives and calls on God to guide him.

Thanks, Kpete for this poignant video. I want happiness for ALL peoples of the world. I truly hope that this thawing between our countries will continue and not be thwarted by any adverse reactions out of Israel. Peace can be obtained, even by the most hated enemies, if they only try. Imagine.
