That’s the perfect tone for this letter, it’s very well worded. It maintains deep pride in Iran alongside positive acknowledgement of her emigrants that contrasts with how the west would expect the government to feel towards them as an example of the inaccuracy of western reporting on Iran. I don’t know if it’s genuine (I know too many Persian and Kurdish people from Iran to fully believe it, but I also know several people whose families are refugees in Iran and who feel very positively towards it, so I think the question of Iran’s benevolence has an answer with more complexities than I am capable of understanding without having gone there or even to any politically neutral or allied country), but it’s a hell of a piece of political art. To be clear, I’m just talking about his tone here, I do absolutely believe that Iran was not intending and just about to create and use nuclear weapons against the US or Israel, but that was also true before I read this letter.

Anyway, I hope it works.

Imagine having a leader/administration who could write a coherent letter.
