Teheran – The National Psychology and Counseling Organization of Iran and the Iranian Psychological Society have issued an open letter to their American counterparts, formally declaring U.S. President Donald Trump a “direct threat to global peace”. The letter, released on 7 April 2026 and widely discussed through 14 April, calls for a scientific examination of the President’s mental fitness following what doctors describe as a pattern of “impulsive and psychopathic decisions” that could lead the world into “the abyss of fire”.
Doctors Cite “Malignant Narcissism” and Delusion
The medical community in Tehran highlighted a range of behavioural traits they claim are indicative of serious psychological and personality disorders:
- Narcissism and Lack of Empathy: The letter identifies “extreme attention-seeking” and an “inhuman disregard for others’ rights”.
- Impulsivity: Professional concerns were raised over Trump’s “hostile rhetoric” and “disconnection from reality,” particularly regarding his recent threats to target Iranian civilian infrastructure.
- Antisocial Behaviour: The psychologists argue that these traits disrupt global mental health standards and create lasting trauma for nations.
Escalating Tensions and the “MAD” Warning
The warning comes amid a severe geopolitical crisis involving a U.S.-led blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Apocalyptic Threats: Trump’s social media posts, including a claim that “a whole civilisation will die tonight,” have been cited by critics as evidence of mental instability.
- Global Security Crisis: Iranian officials suggest that Trump is using “maximalist positions” to force a deal, but doctors warn this “all-or-nothing” mindset is a symptom of malignant narcissism rather than strategic calculation.
- Domestic Fallout: The letter has bolstered calls within the U.S. to invoke the 25th Amendment, with figures like former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and former allies labelling the President’s actions as “madness”.
Professional Call to Action
The Iranian psychological body has challenged the American scientific community to reveal the mechanisms used to ensure the psychological stability of a sitting president who holds control over the nuclear trigger. They emphasize that the mental health of world leaders is no longer a domestic issue but a “global security crisis”.
