President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian, in a letter to US citizens, stated that Iran bears no hostility toward ordinary Americans and called for rethinking established perceptions of his country, according to a publication by the news agencies Reuters and CNN.
Appeal to the American public
Masoud Pezeshkian published a letter addressed to the American people, in which he emphasized that the image of Iran as a threat does not correspond to historical reality or to observable contemporary facts.
According to him, the Iranian side has not chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination, and has never initiated wars in the country's modern history.
Call for a change in US policy
The President of Iran called on the US to reconsider its approach toward Tehran and stop acting as Israel's proxy, questioning claims about prioritizing American interests in the region.
Pezeshkian stated that the current relationship between the countries is being perceived incorrectly and urged Americans to look beyond political rhetoric.
Warning about the consequences of aggression
The letter also contained a warning about the consequences of attacks on the Iranian people, which extend far beyond the country's borders. This was seen as a veiled threat in the event of a conflict escalation.
Essence of the message
Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized the need for dialogue and mutual understanding, noting that the widespread perception of Iran as a threat distorts the actual state of affairs and could lead to unpredictable consequences on the international stage.
Iran has denied reports that President Masoud Pezeshkian had supposedly asked Donald Trump for a ceasefire.
US President Donald Trump stated that he might suspend arms supplies to Ukraine if European allies do not support the coalition to ensure passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
