Hours before US President Donald #Trump's scheduled address to the nation on the Middle East conflict, Iranian President Masoud #Pezeshkian issued an open letter to Americans pushing back against how Iran is portrayed in global discourse. In the message, he rejected the idea that Iran poses a security threat, arguing that such claims do not align with "historical reality". He described Iran as one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations and said the country has not pursued aggression or expansion in its modern history, instead defending itself when attacked.
Iranian President Pezeshkian says his country’s current distrust of Washington is due to several reasons, including foreign intervention and “inhumane sanctions”.
