Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Dec. 27 that the Iranian regime is in a full-scale war with the United States, Europe, and Israel—months after his country’s nuclear facilities were bombed during a 12-day-long aerial war.
Pezeshkian said in a Dec. 27 interview released on the website of the country’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that the war is worse than the Iranian conflict with Iraq that began when Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein invaded Iran in 1980 and that lasted throughout the decade.
