I'm here in Sabriz, the Iranian city, and I am surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of Iranians who are gathered here to celebrate their country, to celebrate its resistance to what they view as a U.S.-Israeli war of aggression. It's people of all ages, all backgrounds, all of the kids, all of the women, all of the men. They're all describing that they're incredibly proud of what their country is doing. And if this ceasefire does end tonight, that they will be willing to stand by their government no matter what. If you girls had a message or Benjamin Netanyahu or Donald Trump, what would it be? If you remember my name, I was the one who was the last one to celebrate, I was the last one to celebrate,
I was the last one to celebrate. You have to celebrate our celebration and your support is independent. We celebrate every day in the country, we celebrate every day.

Can you ask him does he think that's true? 100% not. Any message for the so-called Iranians in the U.S. in Europe that are supporting this war that wants the bombings to continue. What do you think is true? It's true. That is, we have a strong right now. We have a strong right now. And we have a strong right now.
