Nowruz Message | پیام نوروز
As Nowruz arrives and spring whispers across the land, our hearts turn to Iran.
In the midst of hardship, the people of Iran stand with extraordinary courage for freedom and dignity.
نوروز از راه میرسد و نسیم بهار بر سرزمین ما میوزد، اما دلهای ما با مردم ایران است؛
مردمی که در میان رنجها، با شجاعتی ستودنی برای آزادی و کرامت انسانی ایستادهاند.
Nowruz reminds us that no winter lasts forever.
Spring returns, light prevails, and hope rises again.
نوروز یادآور این حقیقت جاودان است که هیچ زمستانی پایدار نمیماند؛
بهار بازمیگردد، روشنایی پیروز میشود و امید دوباره میشکفد.
With faith in the courage of the Iranian people, we welcome this Nowruz as a promise of renewal and change.
با ایمان به شجاعت مردم ایران، نوروز را نویدبخش نوزایی و تغییر میدانیم.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your Nowruz message. It carries both grace and strength. Your message reminds us that dignity, patience and hope are not ideals but values that must sometimes be lived under very difficult circumstances. The thought that “no winter lasts forever” resonates beyond Iran. It is a universal truth, and one that many hold on to in uncertain times. Your confidence in the courage of the Iranian people is inspiring. May this Nowruz truly bring renewal and better days ahead.
Dear Baquer,
ReplyDeleteSeeing how the Iranian people are struggling in their disastrous situation, I think of you as a loyal son of a great civilization, always responsive to ordinary people's needs and concerns. How especially painful it must be for you, your family and our Iranian colleagues to contemplate the current situation.
Nonetheless, as always you remain firm in the conviction that renewal and change will come. I especially appreciate your reminder "that no winter lasts forever, spring returns, light prevails and hope rises again."
Nowruz mobarak! Mary
Dear Baquer,

Warm Wishes
Rima
Dearest Baquer Namazi,
ReplyDeleteNowruz Mubarak to you and your loved ones. May this season of renewal bring peace, strength, and blessings to all. My heartfelt salutations also go to the courageous people of Iran, whose steadfastness continues to inspire admiration across the world.
No words can fully capture the depth of my anger and sorrow at the unprovoked aggression unleashed against the Iranian people. What we are witnessing is a stark and painful reminder of the ugliest face of imperialistic hegemony—an era we hoped humanity had left behind. Under the watch of a world that calls itself “civilized,” the powerful once again impose their will through force, coercion, and disregard for human dignity.
The dignity, composure, and unwavering resolve with which Iran has stood—often alone—against overwhelming pressure commands the utmost respect. What Iran faces today is not merely an attempt at regime change; it is the manifestation of a long-standing, American-backed Israeli ambition to “reshape the Middle East,” a project that ultimately seeks to impose a Greater Israel across the region. Iran has understood these designs with clarity and has stood firmly against them. Tragically, it is now paying the price for resisting two powerful actors whose actions defy reason and morality.
I only wish that the Arab States—and indeed the entire world—would recognize that Iran is defending far more than its own sovereignty. If Iran falls, the rest will inevitably follow. The stakes are not national; they are regional and global.
In recent months, I have written several articles reflecting on these unfolding dynamics, including:
Iran: The Final Obstacle in Israel’s Plan for Middle East Domination (May 2025)
The Imperative to Reform the UN Charter to Establish a New World Order (August 2025)
While I fear that the worst may still lie ahead for the Middle East and the world at large, I continue to pray for the safety of Iran and its remarkable people. My years heading the UNICEF Office in Iran remain among the most cherished of my professional life—filled with warm memories of a nation rich in culture, humanity, and resilience.
May this Nowruz rekindle hope, renew strength, and affirm the enduring truth that no winter—no matter how harsh—can silence the arrival of spring.
Warmest regards,
Munir Safieldin
Amen !

Dearest Baquer,
ReplyDelete"Nowruz reminds us that no winter lasts forever.

Writing to me a week ago, Wivina reminded me of ML King's quote "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that".
Despite all the darkness, Nowrooz, Eid el Fitr, Easter, and your words inspire us to be hopeful, to look for the light, and to believe in a more just world.
Warm regards to All, Saad
