Iran’s president has written an open letter to America asking whether the Trump administration’s war with his country is putting “America First.”“Exactly which of the American people’s interests are truly being served by this war?,” Masoud Pezeshkian wrote in the letter, addressed “to the people of the United States of America” and posted on X late Wednesday local time, hours before US President Donald Trump gave his first national address on the Iran war. “Is ‘America First’ truly among the priorities of the US government today?” Pezeshkian asked. The highest authority in the Islamic Republic, supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, has not been seen or heard in public since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran more than a month ago. Meanwhile, in his letter, Pezeshkian warned the world is at a crossroad. “Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before,” he said.
