‘Which interests being served by war?’ Iran’s Pezeshkian asks US public

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has released an open letter to the American public questioning whose interests are served by war and calling on Americans to look past what he characterizes as "distortions." The letter appears designed to appeal directly to U.S. citizens amid ongoing military conflict in the region. Pezeshkian's direct address to Americans represents an attempt to build domestic pressure within the United States against continued involvement in the conflict. The move signals Iran's effort to shift the diplomatic battlefield by circumventing official U.S. government channels and speaking to voters themselves. Such public appeals are typically used by adversarial nations to undermine political support for a sitting administration's foreign policy.
