Iran’s Revolutionary Guard urged Americans in a message ahead of U.S. midterm elections to take to the streets and rally against Donald Trump, claiming the U.S. president’s war in the Middle East has failed.
The Guard’s spokesman said such street protests should denounce what he called the U.S. government’s war-mongering policies. He said Americans should “revise their decision” about their leaders.
Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, settlers rioted, throwing rocks, blocking roads and setting Palestinian property on fire to prevent a Palestinian man escorted by the Israeli military from returning to his home in the village of Jalud. Here is the latest news from the Middle East on Tuesday. An Iranian spokesman advises Americans to reconsider their leaders Gen.
Hossein Mohebbi, spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard, held a news conference dubbed “A letter to the American people” in Tehran, Iran’s capital. He said that the only way for the war to end is for Washington to admit defeat and leave — a message apparently meant for the U.S. public just weeks ahead of the Nov.
Later in remarks to The Associated Press, Mohebbi urged Americans to take to the streets and protest Trump’s policies. He accused the United States of using Iran’s nuclear program as a ruse to “plunder Iran’s wealth” and to turn the country “back into a colony.” The U.S. military action and economic sanctions would not get Tehran to submit.
Meanwhile, Iran’s currency fell to a new record low Tuesday, with traders in Tehran exchanging more than 2.5 million rials to the U.S. dollar, a sign of how the conflict has further eroded Iran’s economy.
