Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Saturday that his nation faces a ‘total war’ waged by the United States, Israel, and Europe, according to Reuters.
“In my opinion, we are at total war with the United States, Israel and Europe. They want to bring our country to its knees,” Pezeshkian told the official site of supreme leader Ali Khamenei, six months after Israel and the US launched strikes on Iran.
Pezeshkian also warned that this war is worse than the brutal conflict with Iraq that ravaged both nations and claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.

Snapback Sanctions
