A scanned/photographed typewritten letter on letterhead reading "FRANKLIN GRAHAM" at the top center. The letter is dated March 2, 2026, addressed to "Dear Mr. President," and closes with a handwritten signature above the printed name "Franklin Graham," followed by an address block for The President, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, Washington, DC 20500.

Text in image: FRANKLIN GRAHAM March 2, 2026 Dear Mr. President, I just wanted to encourage you today. You are doing the right thing. Other presidents have just kicked the can down the road for too long and not made the hard decisions. You are making the world a safer place. Thank you for giving the people of Iran the opportunity for freedom. I am praying that God will guide your heart and direct your every step. Sincerely, your friend, [handwritten signature] Franklin Graham The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest Washington, DC 20500
