Iranian leader says Israel will fight 'to last US tax dollar' as US weighs invasion

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote an open letter to the American people, claiming Israel intends to fight Iran "to the last American soldier and the last American taxpayer dollar." The letter, published ahead of a major address by US President Donald Trump, argues that Iran is being misrepresented by a "machinery of misinformation" and has never initiated a war. This comes as the Trump administration sends mixed signals, weighing options from a ground invasion to extract enriched uranium to simply walking away from the conflict. Meanwhile, the UAE is pushing for a more aggressive US stance, and European states are discussing plans to control the Strait of Hormuz.
