"For the love of God, would you annoying Africans and Arabs leave us alone? We don't care about your stupid religion. We are an Indo-European people (not Semitic), this is an pagan/zoroastrian holiday, NOT AN ISLAMIC HOLIDAY. We don't want Islamic Republic we want a secular country, unlike you savage Arabs who are fighting for Sharia law! LOL

Iranians: Fighting against Sharia law

Egyptians: Fighting for Sharia law

Yet Americans love Egypt? LOL"

This kind of chauvinistic and idiotic comment pretty much sums up the Iranian diaspora and Iranian opposition outside of Iran. And it was written by someone calling himself 'PersoAryanism'. 

Moving speech

Good start Mr. President, although at the end, i think your minders should have told you to say "Norooz Piroouz" instead of Eid mobarak, all Arabic words.  After Libya, Mr. President it will be Iran's turn to either start with no fly zones, or particularly to target Basij and IRGC sites.  There is no other alternative left.

Very good Iranian speech

This is a very good speech. One that should have come from an Iranian, not the president of the United States.

Just imagine if Mir Hossein Mousavi made this exact same speech directly challenging Khamenei and pledging his allegiance to the people, not the Islamic Republic. THAT would have been a great speech.

And I will underline one part of Obama's speech: "The future of Iran belongs to the young people -- the youth who will determine their own destiny."... not the American government.

Bahmnai jon, translate please

us peasant folks ( as DM would say)  here in Tornto are comepletely lost!

"Ma Ba Shoma Hasteem!" Finally!

"Ma Ba Shoma Hasteem!" makes it to the White House! people in the Bay Area who watch local Persian TV, may be the only ones who get this...

Really large of you to care for Iranian people, how about

first helping American people, workers and their Unions, that put you in office? especially workers in Wisconsin (White House prevented, yes prevented Joe Biden to even attend the Unions rally in Wisconsin, shame on Obama for that).

He can't even give a helping hand to the folks that got him elected and he wants to help us?!?!?

And who ever got paid for that translation should refund the money, "campaign" was translated as Paykar as opposed to Karzar,and... 

With friends like this who needs enemy. The best way for Americans to solidaritize with Iranians is to lower their use and dependence on Oil, get out of that region (US has already created two Islamic Republics next to Iran,  in Iraq and Afghanistan: heck of a job!) once and for all, and stop being so "corporate" minded and short term  profit driven about everything in life, nough said. On roy sag ma ro bala avordan!

Happy New Year.

Good Speech Mr. President but It Ain't Azadi Square ;0)

Poor Obama has never looked more like a puppet than here

You could virtually see the strings of his puppet master moving his mouth as he speaks. 

Obama sounds sincere

He talks the talk but will he walk the walk?

Why did he not say anything about the three hitchhikers lingering in an Iranian prison?  

Ronald Reagen used to tell Gorbeh-Chov we trust but we verify!

Vis-a-vis Mr. Obama just stated in the video clip here, I say, I'll believe it when I see it!

Whenever I see the US jets start monitoring the UN-backed no-fly zone over Iran and taking down the IRR/IRGC's air defense system and the basiji's and the residences of the IRR elites then I know that Obama means business! Until then the jury is out on Mr. Obama!?

very good

way better than last year thank you mr obama happy new year

No More I.R. of Iran!

No more "talking directly to the government of Iran."

His audience was the people of Iran.

Good Stuff!

Thank you Mr. President!
