Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has declared that his country is locked in a 'full-fledged war' with the United States, Israel and Europe, issuing one of Tehran's starkest warnings yet as regional tensions continue to mount.
Speaking in an interview published on the official website of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on 27 December, Pezeshkian accused Western powers and Israel of waging a comprehensive campaign designed to destabilise Iran and prevent the country from recovering economically and politically.
