In a few hours Nowruz, the Persian New Year, is celebrated by millions of people across the globe.

Late Monday Donald Trump, in his second Nowruz message as president in part said:

I wish a beautiful and blessed Nowruz to the millions of people around the world who are celebrating the arrival of spring.

The history of Nowruz is rooted in Iran, where for millennia a proud nation has overcome great challenges by the strength of its culture and the resilience of its people.  Today, the Iranian people face another challenge: rulers who serve themselves instead of serving the people.

Twenty-five centuries ago, Darius the Great asked God to protect Iran from three dangers: hostile armies, drought, and falsehood. Today, the Iranian regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) represents all three….

For many years, I have greatly enjoyed wonderful friendships with Iranian-Americans, one of the most successful immigrant groups in our country’s contemporary history,…

Ordinary Iranians struggle economically and find it difficult to celebrate holidays like Nowruz, may light prevail over darkness in this New Year and may the Iranian people enjoy a new day of peace, prosperity and joy.

Despite the oppression they face, Iranians are fighting to reclaim their rights.  They long for a springtime of hope, and the United States stands with the Iranian people in their aspirations to connect to the wider world and have a responsible and accountable government that truly serves their nation’s interests.”

Lets hope the twitter-in-chief will not make the same mistakes in dealing with the unreformable, expansionist and warmongering Islamist fascists as the appeaser-in-chief Obama made.

Lets hope after 40 years of trying to come to an understanding with the Islamist fascists, this American president becomes the first to break with this nonsensical reactive policy.

Lets hope America does the right thing and back the beleaguers, democracy craving Iranian people in their mighty struggle against Islamist fascism.

Lets hope Trump does, in action rather than words, follow-throught with his fantastic Nowruz message and back the freedom seeking Iranian people in their noble and just cause.

Happy Nowruz to you too President Trump.

Airtight sanctions, a la against the despicable South Africa apartheid, works. U.S. lawmakers get to it.
