Trump Administration ‘Must Be Changed’: Iran’s IRGC Appeals to US Voters
The letter says the Trump administration misled Americans about the war, Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, and claims Iran prevailed.
On Tuesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released an open letter to Americans, urging them to "wrest control back from corrupt politicians" and accusing the United States government under President Donald Trump of misleading the public about the war.
Released five weeks before midterm elections, the message comes one day after the US-Israel war against Iran hit its seven-month mark; the letter declares Iran the victor, arguing the United States failed to meet any declared objectives.
IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi echoed these claims on Tuesday, calling Trump an "inveterate liar" and asserting the United States is unaware of the "harms" of the administration's campaign while challenging U.S. assertions regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump has argued Iran is "losing badly" and recently threatened to "annihilate" the Islamic Republic, while dismissing proposals to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as "unacceptable." Both sides spoke with mediators on Monday regarding efforts to end the war.
Midterm races will determine which political party controls the U.S. Congress, potentially creating legislative roadblocks during Trump's final two years. Tehran maintained on Monday that diplomacy remains the only viable path to resolve the conflict.
THE LETTER accuses Trump of concealing the "peaceful nature" of Iran's nuclear program, as well as the effectiveness of Iran's blockade of oil exports from the Persian Gulf.
