US President Joe Biden while calling for supporting Ukraine against a Russian invasion had a slip of the tongue moment when he mistakenly referred to the Ukrainians as "Iranian people".
"Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people," Biden said in his State of the Union speech that was an emotional appeal for putting up a united front against the Russian aggression.
