Iran president asks Americans in open letter why US is fighting Israel’s war
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says in a letter addressed to the American people that his country harbors no enmity toward ordinary Americans, Press TV reports.
He says in his letter that portraying Iran as a threat is “neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts.”
“Which of the American people’s interests are truly being served by this war?” he asks. “Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime?”
