Today, 25 Azar, is the day we Iranians have traditionally celebrated Mother’s Day, I ask that you join me in celebrating and honoring this most special day. During these difficult times, in which Iranian women have been reclassified as second class citizens and deprived of their most basic rights, we must not only honor our mothers but all the brave women who have continuously stood up in the face of tyranny and injustice.
With my respect for all the brave mothers and the heroic women of Iran, and with the fervent hope and certain knowledge that we will soon celebrate this joyful day in a free Iran.
I wish a very happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers of our beloved Iranzamin,
Reza Pahlavi
