American president Joe Biden called called the Ukraine people "Iranians" in his State of the Union address in front of Congress.

“Putin may circle Kiev with tanks but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,” he said in his first officials union speech in the US Capitol.

His 'slip of the tongue' can be overlooked for everyone knew what the US president meant.
