“The homeland’s arms are always open to them,” Mohajerani said on Sunday. “Dear compatriots living outside the country have stood by the nation despite pressure and hardships created by the Western media.”

She added that all Iranians, regardless of where they live or why they left the country, should consider Iran their home.

“It is necessary to convey this message that the homeland’s arms are always open, because a mother’s arms and a homeland’s arms will never be closed to their children,” Mohajerani said.
