Irans top leaders sent Christmas greetings on social media today, reaching out via unprecedented tweets from the Islamic republic including one message directed at Pope Francis.
Felicitations to @Pontifex on birthday of Christ, Prophet of love, mercy & friendship, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani tweeted, referring to the Popes Twitter account, @Pontifex.
The Iranian leaders comments follow a similar interfaith outreach around the time of the Jewish New Year, in September, when Rouhani used Twitter to wish all Jews, especially Iranian Jews, a blessed Rosh Hashanah.
Since he assumed office in August, Rouhani has put a friendly face on engagement with the West, even exchanging tweets with U.S. President Barack Obama.
