Iran’s President Says the Country Is Facing a Full-Scale War from the West
Right now, a very strong message is coming out of Tehran, and it’s one that’s raising eyebrows across the world. Iran’s President, Masoud Pezeshkian, has openly claimed that his country is facing what he calls a “full-fledged war” being waged by the United States, Israel, and several European nations. According to him, this isn’t a traditional war with tanks rolling across borders, but something far more complex and damaging.
The statement was made during an interview published by Iranian state-linked media, and the timing was not accidental. It came just days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet US President Donald Trump, a meeting widely seen as crucial for future decisions on Iran. Pezeshkian made it clear that, in his view, Western powers do not want Iran to become stable or self-reliant. Instead, he suggested that economic pressure, military threats, and political isolation are all being used together as weapons.

What’s interesting is how this conflict was described by the Iranian president. It was said to be even worse than the brutal Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, a conflict that killed hundreds of thousands. This time, according to him, the battlefield is everywhere — from sanctions and diplomacy to cyber pressure and targeted strikes. It was framed as a war where the enemy is harder to see, but the impact is deeply felt across the country.
Pezeshkian also issued a warning. He stated that Iran’s military forces are now stronger than they were during previous attacks by Israel and the US earlier this year. Despite economic hardships and sanctions, it was claimed that Iran’s defense capabilities have improved. If new attacks were to happen, he said, a more decisive response would follow.
This rhetoric follows a violent 12-day conflict earlier this year, when Israeli strikes hit Iranian military and nuclear facilities, along with civilian areas. Iranian authorities reported more than 1,000 casualties. The situation escalated further when the US joined the campaign, bombing three Iranian nuclear sites. As a result, nuclear negotiations that had restarted in April were effectively frozen.
At the same time, pressure on Iran has intensified economically. European powers reinstated UN sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program, while President Trump revived his “maximum pressure” strategy, aimed at crippling Iran’s economy and limiting its oil exports.
With Netanyahu reportedly pushing for fresh military action, possibly targeting Iran’s missile program, tensions remain extremely high. For now, Iran’s leadership is sending a clear signal: the country sees itself under siege, and any further escalation, they warn, will not go unanswered.
