He is having fun traveling all around the country and talking to people in the farthest villages, where people are so surprised hearing the big guy is coming over that they would show up in big numbers. This is how people stood in the streets to greet him.
Welcome! You Lovable!
He marched in front of them while singing through a wireless microphone (click to enlarge).
Then, he told them a story about a big thing called America. He told them to be brave and fight against the bad thing. By pure chance, he was standing in Tabas, the city close to which Operation Eagle Claw failed in a sand storm.

Hey Kamangir, is it true that there are large protests in Tehran and Kermanshah right now? Or were very recently?
Alex,
In Tehran yes, but I am not sure about Kermanshah.
His trip to Kerman was cancelled! ;)
Naj,
Are you sure?
Kamangir,
What is the Persian text of the line “Welcome! You Lovable!” ? Is it that blue sign, “٘مØبوب قلبھا خوش آمدید” ?
Actually I thought about the same thing. I guess Arash has recently been with the translator of AP :D (just kidding)
Anyway I think he doesn’t look like being lovely or lovable :D
Vilas,
Yes.
