According to Iran's state news agency, the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations issued a sharp statement aimed at American policymakers, asserting that the real enemy of the American people is the hawkish forces within their own country.
The remarks came amid continued escalation of tensions between Tehran and Washington, with reciprocal accusations and sanctions. The Iranian official stressed that hostile policies toward Iran do not stem from the interests of the American people, but from the ambitions of a small group seeking to sustain conflict and expand its power.
According to the official, it is these hawkish forces that have pushed costly wars, causing losses of life and resources for the United States while eroding Washington's international standing. He argued that the American people need to clearly identify what truly poses a threat to their security and prosperity.
The statement is part of Iran's communications strategy to draw a clear line between the U.S. government and the American people, while calling on U.S. public opinion to oppose policies of military intervention and sanctions.
