President Joe Biden had a gaffe during his State of the Union speech amid the crisis in Ukraine, confusing the nation with Iran.
Biden, 79, the oldest man ever elected to the presidency in the United States, was speaking about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict when he erred. “Putin may circle Kiev with tanks, but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,” Biden said. Vice President Kamala Harris can be seen behind Biden mouthing the correct word, “Ukrainian”. Social media was afire with reaction at the blunder, with “Iranians” trending after the speech.
