The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued an open letter directly appealing to the American public to change their government under Donald Trump, arguing that both nations are victims of corrupt White House politicians. Releasing the message five weeks before the US midterm elections and seven months into the US-Israel war with Iran, the IRGC claims victory by stating the US failed to achieve its objectives despite heavy strikes, while Iranian officials accuse Trump of lying about Iran's nuclear intentions and control over the Strait of Hormuz.
