In an unusual diplomatic maneuver, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published a 25-page open letter directed at the American public shortly before the U.S. midterm elections. The letter serves as a direct critique of President Donald Trump, labeling him a 'liar' and accusing his administration of intentionally misrepresenting the nature of Iran’s nuclear program to the international community.

The document argues that the U.S. government is attempting to manufacture a pretext for war by concealing what the IRGC describes as the 'peaceful nature' of Iran's nuclear activities. Beyond the criticism of current U.S. leadership, the letter attempts to appeal to the American electorate by extending an offer of 'coexistence' between the two nations. The IRGC suggests that the interests of the American people are being undermined by the current administration's foreign policy decisions.

This communication represents a rare instance of a foreign military entity attempting to influence domestic U.S. political discourse directly. While the letter frames the IRGC's stance as a pursuit of peace, it remains a highly controversial move given the long-standing tensions between Tehran and Washington. The U.S. government has historically designated the IRGC as a destabilizing force in the Middle East, and the letter is unlikely to shift official U.S. policy, though it highlights the Iranian leadership's desire to bypass the White House and speak directly to the American public during a sensitive political cycle.
