I am heartened by the release of the Israeli hostages from Hamas’s captivity, bringing much-needed relief to their families after two agonizing years.
I commend President Trump and his team for their leadership, bringing about the end of suffering for so many, and their tireless efforts for peace in the region.
Yet, at this moment of joy for the people of Israel, my thoughts are also with my compatriots in Iran, who continue to be held hostage by the brutal regime in Tehran. The Iranian people know better than anyone that this regime will never allow peace in the Middle East. That’s why they are fighting for their liberation. Rest assured, this occupying regime will fall and Iran will rise again.
Only when that day comes, will we see the true, lasting peace in the Middle East we all seek. For while the Islamic Republic’s warmongers seek to sow chaos, the people of Iran, like Cyrus the Great before them, are peacemakers.
