Dear Mr. President,
As an Iranian American, I respectfully commend your support for the Iranian people, who for decades have lived under repression, and for encouraging them to raise their voices against Tehran’s corrupt dictatorship.
Iran is a unique yet vulnerable nation of nearly ninety-five million people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
The last century, these people have been victimized by destructive ideologies, most notably Persian Chauvinism, Shiite extremism, and communism, that lack genuine popular support inside the country but receive guidance and backing from external powers.
Some of these separatist groups operate under the name of “Turks”, while advancing agendas that are, in fact, deeply anti-Turk, anti-free world, and hostile to Iran’s unity.
On behalf of the Iranian Turks, the largest demographic groups in Iran, I respectfully ask you to consider several critical realities:
Despite a century of chauvinism imposed on non-Farsi-speaking communities, Iran’s territorial integrity remains the primary red line for the overwhelming majority of its citizens.
A future free and stable Iran is best served by an ethnic federal structure that preserves national unity, while guaranteeing equality, self- determination, and justice for all peoples.
I also urge caution against repeating historical errors. The 1953, American intervention, undertaken to satisfy British interests, continues to cast a long shadow over both Iran and the West.
Likewise, Also in 1979, with British request, and American support, ideological forces, communists and extremist Shiite groups, seized power under the banner of religion, a mistake whose consequences persist today. Those same networks now reappear under new labels, seeking to advance foreign strategic interests in Iran and the Gulf.
Finally, Iran’s so-called Principlists and Reformists are not true rivals. They function as two wings of the same failing system, one ruling through militarized Shiite extremism and IRGC power, the other sustaining the regime by offering illusions of reform.
Dear Mr. President, notorious and Corrupt figures such as Hassan Rouhani will not prevent collapse; at best, they may delay it for the interest of known foreign countries, risking deeper instability and potential conflict, and civil war.
Thank you for your attention to these concerns and for your continued support of the Iranian people.
Respectfully,
Alireza Amir Nazmi Afshar
