released on the occasion of Nowruz, the Persian new year, Obama7s message said the United States seeks engagement with Iran "that is honest and grounded in mutual respect, " but "cautioned that the country cannot "take its rightful place in the community of nations... through terror or arms, but through peaceful actions that demonstrates the trude greatness of the Iranian people and civilization."

Bush routinely called the Iranian government "a regime" .
