In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life:
Iran—by this very name, character, and identity—is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination.
[Unless you count our colonization of Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, neighboring portions of Iraq, Kurdistan, and any other place we could get to.]
[Oh, or in 1979 U.S. embassy hostages (an act of war), the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing (241 Americans killed by Iranian-backed Hezbollah), arming Shia militias that killed hundreds of U.S. troops in Iraq/Afghanistan, support for Hamas's October 7, 2023 massacre, Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, and getting ready to build 11 nuclear bombs while openly threatening to nuke NYC.]
Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers—and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors—Iran has never initiated a war.
[Directly. We mainly sent Arabs to go die for us.]
Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it.
The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations,
[The "Death to America" chants really meant "We love you to death!"]
including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness—not a temporary political stance.
For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful—the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented.
[False on its face. Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism (per decades of U.S. State Department designations), runs the "Axis of Resistance" (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, Iraqi militias), has ballistic missiles capable of hitting U.S. allies, and has raced toward nuclear breakout (IAEA-confirmed highly enriched uranium stockpiles sufficient for multiple bombs as of early 2026). The regime's leaders chant "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" as policy. This isn't "manufactured"—it's observable reality.]
Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran—a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war.
[Well, except for Oct 7, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraqi militias. And against its own people. And the Kurds. Probably the Taliban, too, even.]
Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done—and continues to do—is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense, and by no means an initiation of war or aggression.
[LOL]
Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostility or tension.
[Yes, because you were not crazy. Different regime]
The turning point, however, was the 1953 coup d’état—an illegal American intervention aimed at preventing the nationalization of Iran’s own resources.
[I guess he means the thwarted Soviet takeover of his country.]
That coup disrupted Iran’s democratic process, reinstated dictatorship,
[saved it from Soviet domination]
and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward U.S. policies. This distrust deepened further with America’s support for the Shah’s regime,
[you mean the Shah that let women wear normal clothes and was steadily improving the country?]
its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of the 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression—twice, in the midst of negotiations—against Iran.
[The negotiations were a scam delay tactic to build nuclear bombs.]
Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran.
[yeah, that's why your entire navy is at the bottom of the ocean, and most of the IRGC is dead; the Quds force almost doesn't exist]
On the contrary, the country has grown stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled—from roughly 30% before the Islamic Revolution to over 90% today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives.
[Just think how much it would have grown if a free economy was permitted, women were not property, and it was a corrupt mullocracy from top to bottom]
At the same time, the destructive and inhumane impact of sanctions, war, and aggression on the lives of the resilient Iranian people must not be underestimated. The continuation of military aggression and recent bombings profoundly affect people’s lives, attitudes, and perspectives.
[cool, it's working]
This reflects a fundamental human truth: when war inflicts irreparable harm on lives, homes, cities, and futures, people will not remain indifferent toward those responsible.
[sounds like a threat]
This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people’s interests are truly being served by this war? Was there any objective threat from Iran to justify such behavior?
[not being nuked is a pretty objective American interest]
Does the massacre of innocent children,
[you mean like you did on October 7?]
the destruction of cancer-treatment pharmaceutical facilities, or boasting about bombing a country “back to the stone ages” serve any purpose other than further damaging the United States’ global standing?
[It is better to be feared than loved.]
Iran pursued negotiations, reached an agreement, and fulfilled all its commitments.
[Well, except the missiles, the nukes, and everything else. We did take the planeloads of cash.]
The decision to withdraw from that agreement, escalate toward confrontation, and launch two acts of aggression in the midst of negotiations were destructive choices made by the U.S. government—choices that served the delusions of a foreign aggressor.
[not so much]
Attacking Iran’s vital infrastructure—including energy and industrial facilities—directly targets the Iranian people. Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran’s borders. They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an inability to achieve a sustainable solution.
Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime?
[Ah, yes, the JOOOOOOS. Always the Joooos!]
Is it not true that Israel, by manufacturing an Iranian threat,
[like Iran attacking via Hezbollah in the North, Gaza in the South? Hammering nails into a girl's vagina? Rapes? Murders? Kidnappings?]
seeks to divert global attention away from its crimes toward the Palestinians?
[I guess declining to be slaughtered by Palestinians is a crime to this guy.]
Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier
[Yeah, that's why Israel has tens of thousands of its young men and women deployed fighting Iran in Lebanon and Syria, boots on the ground. To get America.]
and the last American taxpayer dollar—shifting the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in pursuit of illegitimate interests? Is “America First” truly among the priorities of the U.S. government today?
[yes, ending a long-term simmering threat who chants "Death to America" and had 11 nukes almost ready-to-go is a priority to the U.S. government.]
I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—
[NYT? PMSNBC? Yeah, they're terrible.]
an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants—educated in Iran—who now teach and conduct research at the world’s most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West.
[Yeah, know a bunch. They hate you and are cheering for the fall of the government.]
Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?
[Pretty spot on that your people hate you, yes. That's why you slaughtered 30,000 of your own people 3 months ago.]
Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before.
[Agree. We need to pick the festering scab that is the Iranian mullocracy once and for all.]
The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors.
All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures—resilient, dignified, and proud.
[Well, welcome to the 21 century.]

[Commentary in brackets because I just couldn't take the lies.]
“In the name of Allah...”
Stopped reading right there.
April fools!
Thanks for the brackets
Really, a lie in the first line. “Compassionate and Mericiful, my ass.”
Allah is not God and Mohammed was a pedo, not a prophet.
I keep on thinking of things I should have added.
Persians yes. Muslim scum no.
anybody can write a letter.
The parts in brackets should be worked into a formal ‘Response of the American People.’
Persia was one a great Christian nation. I’ve met several people who escaped the Islamic hellhole since 1979, they still call their country Persia.
Bullshit to English translation: I keel you!
“The parts in brackets should be worked into a formal ‘Response of the American People.’”
That’s high praise. Thank you.
“Persia was one a great Christian nation.”
Never.
I feel like an ad hoc committee of Jane Fonda, AOC and Jimmy Kimmel wrote it for him.
They were a Christian nation until they were conquered by the Ottoman Empire.
Thank you for the good commentary in brackets [ ]. The stupid leaders in Iran are saying that Iran’s lengthy history makes it militarily and politically superior to America. Fact: Iran’s stupid leaders have kangaroo courts that kill many innocent prisoners.
Ragheads are bound by their “faith” to lie to the infidel (Taqiyya). This is all theater aimed at the weak and uneducated.
Pezeshkian needs to get a lawyer to fight the Nuremberg Trials.
“I’ve met several people who escaped the Islamic hellhole since 1979, they still call their country Persia.”
The name was changed to the indigenous term Iran from the westernized term Persia in 1935.
It goes back to their original roots.
Pathetic
