WANA (Sep 29) – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a letter addressed to the American public, urging them to distance themselves from Israel and stressing that Iran and the American people can coexist peacefully under different circumstances.

 

In the letter, the IRGC said: “Those who can change this grim fate are the American people themselves. Separate yourselves from the occupiers of Palestine, who will sooner or later have to leave and return to their countries. We can coexist peacefully.”

 

The IRGC also called on Americans to oppose the policies of their government, saying: “Remove the rogue, child-killing, lustful and irrational government, entrust your affairs to thinkers rather than thugs, and remind them that the world has changed.”

 

‘This is the century of the will of nations’

The letter said that people around the world had become more aware of global developments and that “the era of plundering nations’ wealth by force of arms has come to an end.”

 

“This is the century of the triumph of the will of nations,” it said.

 

The IRGC warned that continuing what it described as an “inhumane path” would have serious consequences for the United States, adding: “The day of the oppressed confronting the oppressor will be far harder than the day of the oppressor confronting the oppressed.”

IRGC’s account of the seven-month war

The IRGC also presented its account of the seven-month conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.

 

The letter said that seven months ago, the U.S. military launched a war against Iran by violating international law and, in what the IRGC described as a war crime, attacking a school in Minab and killing 198 schoolchildren.

 

It further alleged that the office of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Leader, was attacked at the same time, killing Ayatollah Khamenei, members of his family and his 14-month-old grandchild.

 

According to the letter, more than 3,600 people, most of them civilians, including 400 children, have been killed during the war so far. It also said that eight universities, three hospitals and eight schools had been bombed.

 

The IRGC said that despite what it described as “unprecedented crimes,” the United States and Israel had suffered a heavy defeat and that the Islamic Republic had achieved a decisive victory.

IRGC raises questions about U.S. policies

The letter also focused on the costs of U.S. wars for the American public, saying: “Throughout the history of America’s endless wars, truth has been the first casualty, while the American people have always been the victims of these wars.”

 

Referring to American taxpayers’ role in financing wars, the IRGC said they had the right to know about information that, according to the letter, had been withheld from them.

 

It then raised a series of questions, including why Iran had been able to withstand the United States in the war despite having a military budget far smaller than Washington’s, whether the Iranian people were hostile toward the American people, and, if not, why Iranians chant “Death to America.”

 

The IRGC also questioned the U.S. designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization, Washington’s decades-long efforts to restore its influence in Iran, and the future of the conflict. It called on Americans to consider the consequences of their government’s policies and what the letter described as an impending collapse.

 

IRGC invites Americans to visit Iran

Toward the end of the letter, the IRGC said it was presenting its arguments to the American public “sincerely” and invited Americans to conduct their own investigation if they had doubts about its account.

 

“If you doubt our sincerity, you can take a short trip and visit anywhere in Iran you wish, even the Strait of Hormuz, and personally verify the truth of our statements,” the letter said.
