The IRGC published a 26-page letter to the American people on September 29. Not a cable to the State Department. A propaganda letter to voters, five weeks before the midterms.They insisted death to America did not mean death to the American people. Their words: the chant "does not in any way express any ill will toward the American people." They called it a prayer against the "diabolical ruling elite" in the White House. Just the leadership, they said. Not you.Then they told you what to do with your ballot. "You can change the makeup of the government if you apply the criteria for good leadership in choosing the people you vote into office." Remove "the evil, deceitful, and violent politicians." Take back control. Do that, they wrote, and the two countries can live in peaceful coexistence. Refuse, and they warned of a "massive economic earthquake." That is oil. That is the price at the pump.IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said he did not expect the letter to move the Trump administration. He hoped American voters would hear it. There is no question who they are rooting for. Democrats. That is what they are holding out for.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said the regime is on its knees. Operation Economic Outcast, launched August 24, has driven the rial to record lows. Bessent said Iran had about 15 million barrels of oil left on the water, then nothing left to trade. President Trump has said they are dying because no money is coming in. They are nearly financially crippled.The Federalist Papers They still think they can wait it out. If Democrats flip Congress, the war ends on their terms, the blockade loosens, and they go back to the nuclear scheming they have never quit. The cartoon has them holding the sign. The letter already printed it.They are not hiding whose side they are on. A Democratic House is the exit they wrote 26 pages to get.If the IRGC is writing American voters and betting a Democratic Congress ends the pressure, who benefits if the House flips in November?
