Did Biden Say ‘Iranian’ Instead of ‘Ukrainian’ in the First State of the Union Address? Watch

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday addressed his first State of the Union address, where he spoke about the ongoing Ukraine conflict in Russia. However, it may seem that he mispronounced and said ‘Iranian’ instead of ‘Ukrainian’. At least that’s what most people on Twitter are saying, as they share a viral video of Biden’s address.

In the video, Biden can be heard saying, “Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks but will never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people”.

In a video, US Vice President Kamala Harris is also seen sitting behind, uttering the word ‘Ukrainian’ as Biden utters the wrong word.

Many people have reacted to this mistake of Biden. One user wrote, “He is the Comedian-in-Chief of Kiev, Kyiv has expressed hope?” Another wrote, “Biden just called Ukrainians, Iranians. The only mention of Iran will be found in this speech and it was in error.”

Another user said, “It looked more “Uranian” than Iranian.

In his State of the Union speech, Biden declared that he and all members of Congress, whatever their political differences, “with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.” As he began his speech, he asked the lawmakers in the chamber of the House to stand up and salute the Ukrainians. They stood up and started shouting. It was a remarkable show of unity after a long period of bitterness between Biden’s Democratic coalition and the Republican opposition.

Biden’s 62-minute speech, split between war abroad and concerns at home – reflects the same balancing act he now faces in his presidency. They must marshal allies resolutions against Russia’s aggression during inflation, COVID-19 fatigue and rising approval ratings in the midterm elections.
