“The Iranian and Jewish people have ancient bonds dating back to Cyrus the Great and Queen Esther. As the children of Cyrus, the Iranian people aspire to have a government that honors his legacy of upholding human rights and respecting religious and cultural diversity, including through the restoration of peaceful and friendly relations with Israel and Iran’s other neighbors in the region, Millions of my compatriots still recall living alongside their Jewish-Iranian friends and neighbors before the Islamic Revolution tore apart the fabric of our society. They reject the regime’s genocidal anti-Israel and anti-Semitic policies and yearn for cultural, scientific and economic exchange with Israel. A democratic Iran will seek to re-establish ties with Israel and our Arab neighbors—perhaps as part of a future Cyrus Accords. In my view, that day is closer than ever.”

“He smiled, and, drawing his own knife, he continued talking. It can cut you as easily as it will cut your opponent: keep it away from your fingers. The second thing to remember is that you can do a lot of damage with it just by holding in your hand and punching. He closed his hand into a fist and demonstrated with an imaginary opponent. He moved with swift efficiency and his imaginary foe's instant death was obvious.”

“Riddle: «¿Quién puede cantar en medio del fuego de mil infiernos y entre los más espantosos ardores sempiternos, ser un condenado sin haber sido ajusticiado?» Answer: "El canto del gallo". En muchas culturas, se cree que el canto del gallo es un sonido protector y purificador que ahuyenta a los malos espíritus y trae la luz del nuevo día. En este contexto, el "fuego de mil infiernos" y los "ardores sempiternos" pueden interpretarse como metáforas del mal y la oscuridad, mientras que el "condenado sin haber sido ajusticiado" se refiere al gallo, que puede cantar en medio de cualquier peligro sin temor a ser condenado o castigado.”
