Iran Declares Full-Scale War with US Amid Ongoing Military and Economic TensionsPreviousNext

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that Iran is engaged in a "full-scale war" with the United States, emphasizing that the conflict extends beyond military strikes to economic pressures affecting citizens' livelihoods. He urged national unity and acceptance of the conflict's consequences while rejecting claims of concessions to the US. The US has conducted multiple military strikes on Iranian targets, which Iran has responded to with missile and drone attacks on Gulf states, escalating tensions in the region.
