Iran published a letter to the American people, directly blaming the Trump administration for starting the ongoing war. The letter was released just hours before President Donald Trump was set to address the nation. In it, Iran accused the U.S. of fabricating reasons for the conflict, claiming Iran had agreed to a nuclear deal only for the U.S. to pull out and launch attacks anyway.
According to Mediaite, the letter stated that Iranians hold no hostility toward Americans, Europeans, or their neighbors. Iran argued that throughout its long history of dealing with foreign interference, its people have always separated governments from the citizens those governments represent. The letter described this as a core part of Iranian culture, not just a political talking point.
