There's no reason we can't all live harmoniously together, and that's what I would say to the head of Iran.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In short, the time has come for us as American and Iranian citizens to apply our mutual energy, intellect, and goodwill toward strengthening relations between our two countries, as their destinies are intertwined.
We all have to live together, so we might as well live together happily.
For this reason, the expansion of relations with all countries is on the agenda of the Islamic Republic of Iran. I mean balanced relationships, based on mutual respect and observation of each other's rights.
Everyone needs to understand that we were meant to live together in this country. We have to get to know one another; even if we don't agree, we have to enable each side to express itself.
Those who insist on having hostilities with us, kill and destroy the option of friendship with us in the future, which is unfortunate because it is clear the future belongs to Iran and that enmities will be fruitless.
Countries are different. They make different choices. We cannot harmonise everything.
I think that we need to get along together if we want to survive in the twenty-first century.
Unless you are willing to compromise, society cannot live together.
Fundamentally, we have to recognize that Iran is not a partner.
It's the governments that create the problems. People are fun; people get along. People in Iran really love Americans. There is no problem between us.
