Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that Iran is engaged in what he described as a “full-fledged war” with the America and its allies.

Speaking in an interview published on a website affiliated with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Pezeshkian said Western powers are attempting to prevent Iran from becoming economically and politically self-sufficient.

“In my opinion, we are in a full-fledged war with America, Israel, and Europe,” Pezeshkian said. “They do not want our country to stand on its feet.”

“This war is worse than Iraq’s war against us,” he said, referring to the conflict between the two nations that ended in 1988.

”If one understands it well, this war is far more complex and difficult than that war,” he added.

The remarks come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to travel to Washington for meetings with Trump focused on Iran.

Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites in June, a move that escalated a nearly two-week armed conflict between Iran and Israel, later referred to as the “12 Day War.”

The fighting ended after Trump helped broker a ceasefire in late June.

Since returning to office in January, Trump has reinstated his “maximum pressure” strategy toward Iran, first implemented during his initial term.

The approach includes new sanctions aimed at restricting Tehran’s economy and cutting off oil revenues from international markets.

“Here, they are besieging us from every aspect, they are putting us in difficulty and constraint, creating problems, in terms of livelihood, culturally, politically, and security-wise, while raising society’s expectations,” he said.

“On one side, they block our sales, our exchanges, our trade, and on the other side, expectations in society have risen,” he continued.

”Consequently, we must all help with all our might to fix the country.”
