A speech by Seyed Hassan Nasrallah in Persian during the Friday prayer in Tehran (July 7, 2000) Shahid Hassan Nasrallah, being an Arabic-speaking Lebanese seminarian whose parents never even came to Iran, could speak fluent Persian and converse with Iranians. However, none of Reza Pahlavi's children, who, in their own words, are true Iranians, are of Aryan descent and come from the Shah dynasty of the Pahlavi dynasty, can speak Persian!
