- Iran's Revolutionary Guard has urged Americans to take to the streets and rally against Donald Trump, claiming the U.S. president's war in the Middle East has failed.
- Gen. Hossein Mohebbi, spokesman for Iran's Revolutionary Guard, read a “letter to the American people” at a news conference Tuesday, asserting that the war will only end when Washington admits defeat and completely withdraws forces from the region.
- In a follow-up interview, Mohebbi accused the U.S. of utilizing Iran's nuclear program as a ruse to “plunder Iran's wealth” and try and turn the country “back into a colony.” Mohebbi said Americans should “revise their decision” about their leaders.
- It came as Iran's currency dropped to a new record low of more than 2.5 million rials to the U.S. dollar Tuesday, reflecting the severe economic toll of the ongoing conflict.
- The rial hit its previous record low of 2.2 million to the dollar on Sept. 2. The currency has repeatedly reached new lows since the war began in February.
