Iran leader says country in ‘full-fledged’ war with US, Israel, Europe

Iran’s President Pezeshkian calls current conflict more complex than 1980s war with Iraq, citing over 1,000 casualties and economic sanctions as evidence of full-scale war.

  • On Saturday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran is in a full-scale war with the United States, Israel and Europe ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu's Monday meeting with Donald Trump.
  • The United States and Israel carried out strikes that included bombing three Iranian nuclear sites, while Western powers revived the so-called "maximum pressure" policy with new sanctions.
  • Reporting shows the attacks killed nearly 1,100 Iranians, including senior military commanders and nuclear scientists, during a 12-day war in June, with 28 killed in Israel.
  • Pezeshkian said Iran's military forces are stronger despite problems and warned any new attack would meet a more decisive response, adding Washington halted April negotiations with Tehran.
  • Pezeshkian compared the confrontation to the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq war, saying it is more complicated and that the earlier conflict left more than 1,000 casualties, amid sanctions reimposed in September.
