Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that his country is in a full-scale war with the United States, Israel and Europe, amid the upcoming meeting of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with US President Donald Trump on Monday, the Associated Press reported.
In an interview published today on the website of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Pezeshkian said that the war is more severe than Iran's bloody war with Iraq in the 1980s.
„We are in a full-scale war with the United States, Israel and Europe. "They don't want our country to remain stable," he said.
Pezeshkian's remarks came two days before a planned meeting between Trump and Netanyahu in the United States. Iran is expected to be a key topic of discussion.
Israeli and American strikes on Iran during a 12-day air war in June killed nearly 1,100 Iranians, including top military commanders and nuclear physicists. Iran's retaliatory missile strikes killed 28 people in Israel.
