Iran’s President Urges Diplomatic Path in Open Letter to US Public

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has appealed directly to the American people, warning that continued confrontation is costly and ineffective. He argues that the world now stands at a crossroads, and choosing dialogue over conflict could shape a more secure future. The letter was released just hours before the US President’s national address on the ongoing war. While Pezeshkian leaned toward diplomacy, he also defended Iran’s right to self-defence and noted the country’s long history of resisting foreign aggression without ever initiating hostilities. Pezeshkian did not outline specific steps for ending the conflict, leaving key decisions to Iran’s supreme leader and the Revolutionary Guards. He did, however, confirm a recent call with the European Council president and said Iran would consider peace if its core security conditions are met. He distinguished between the American government’s policies and the US people, insisting that ordinary Iranians bear no enmity toward citizens abroad. The open letter stands out as a rare public appeal for engagement amid escalating tensions.
