In a direct appeal to the United States, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has sent a letter to the American people asserting that Iran has never been the aggressor in historical conflicts. The report, cited by QR News via the BBC, comes at a moment of extreme tension between the two nations.

Hours after the letter was publicized, U.S. President Donald Trump responded with a characteristic show of force, claiming that the "head of the new regime in Iran" had reached out to the U.S. requesting a ceasefire.

Trump’s Ultimatum on Social Media:

Taking to his social media platform, Trump laid out his conditions:

"We will only consider a ceasefire when the Strait of Hormuz is reopened and made safe. Until then, we will continue to dismantle Iran or, as they put it, return them to the Stone Age!"

In his original message, President Pezeshkian emphasized that the Iranian people harbor no hostility toward ordinary Americans, Europeans, or neighboring nations. He warned that the "choice between confrontation and cooperation" is what will ultimately define the future for coming generations.

Currently, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, paralyzing oil shipments from the Persian Gulf. This maritime blockade has become Trump’s primary lever of pressure as he seeks to force a total shift in Iranian policy.
