Iran's president questions US war aims in letter to Americans - Press TV

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian urged the American public to question the purpose of the war with Iran and said Tehran has never pursued aggression, in a letter released by Press TV.

“Iran… has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination,” he wrote.

He said Iranians “harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America,” adding that portraying Iran as a threat is “the product of political and economic whims of the powerful.”

“This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people’s interests are truly being served by this war?” he wrote.

He alleged that the United States was acting on Israel’s behalf in the conflict with Iran.

“Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime?” he wrote.

He warned that attacks on infrastructure and continued military action would increase instability and human suffering.

“Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before,” he said.
