Iranian President Massoud Pazeshkian says Americans should look beyond political rhetoric and reconsider the realities of Iran's past, present and aspirations for a future. He says Iran harbors no enmity toward ordinary Americans. and that the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. He also suggested the possibility of diplomatic engagement. The letter came just hours before President Trump is set to address the nation on the Iran war. A White House official says the president will provide an update on the war's progress and a two- to three-week timetable for its end.
Trump told Reuters earlier that he'll use that time to criticize NATO for its perceived lack of support in the military operation. Former Vice President Mike Pence says Iran has been a problem for decades, and he's glad President Trump took the fight to them.
I'm proud of our troops. I'm also proud that President Trump pulled the trigger and made the decision to move against Iran. Simply cannot allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, but to be able to hit the regime and simply say that Iran, The time of you sowing terror across the region are over, I think, was action whose time has come.
