Video Transcription

There is only one way to achieve peace, a secular, democratic Iran.

I am here today to submit myself to my compatriots, to lead them down this road of peace and democratic transition.

I do not seek political power, but rather to help our great nation navigate through this critical hour towards stability, freedom, and justice.
