Via Google Translate:

Dear friends

Because

Thank you very much for your humble servant

I do not know with what words and sentences you deserve your kindness

Thank you gentlemen

If you called and my humble servant, I would not answer

Carrying disrespect to you is not noble

Forgive me for being short

The only reason is that my blood oxygen drops sharply as I speak

I hope you forgive me

I love you

Be together like a mountain

From yourself, your family, your friends and fellow citizens, and finally

Support the entire Iranian people

Nothing will preserve this land like unity and empathy

I touch your tectonics

And I die for the pride of Iran
