Iran's Pezeshkian Declares 'Full-Fledged War' on US, Israel, Europe

  • Iran's President Pezeshkian declared the country is in a "full-fledged war" with the US, Israel, and Europe, as published on the supreme leader's website.
  • Pezeshkian described this conflict as more complex and difficult than the 1980s Iraq war, encompassing economic, cultural, political, and security aspects.
  • Iranian officials stated the country is now stronger in equipment and personnel, warning of a "decisive response" if attacked.
  • The declaration comes ahead of Israeli PM Netanyahu's meeting with US President Trump to discuss a ceasefire plan.
  • A US State Department official views Iran as a destabilizing factor but indicates the Trump administration prefers sanctions and diplomatic pressure over military action.
