Excellency President Donald Trump

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
