00:00What is your message to President Trump?
00:03My message to President Trump is that I'm here to echo and join millions of my compatriots
00:10inside and outside of Iran to thank him for having done and having the courage to do what
00:15is not easy, but intervene.
00:18And he will go down in the annals of Iranian history as the most celebrated foreign leader
00:23that changed the ballgame and changed the world as a result.
00:26In January, President Trump said this about you, quote,
00:33He seems very nice, but I don't know how he'd play within his own country.
00:38I don't know whether or not his country would accept his leadership.
00:42And certainly if they would, that would be fine with me.
00:47You don't seem to have President Trump's wholehearted support.
00:51Well, first of all, I don't think that somebody in my position will ever expect
00:55to have an official endorsement of a foreign government or a foreign leader.
01:00What I do know now is that millions of Iranians inside Iran and outside of Iran are calling
01:05my name.
01:06They recognize in me the person uniquely placed to play a role of transitional leadership.
01:12Not running for office, because that's not what I'm doing, but to be a bridge to that destiny.
01:19Once again, please look.
01:19You
