Iran's president said the country is engaged in a 'full-scale war' with the United States, according to AFP. The statement, reported by the French news agency, marks the latest escalation in rhetoric from Tehran amid ongoing tensions with Washington.
Iran's president made the declaration on Monday afternoon, according to AFP. The statement, which did not provide further details, comes amid a prolonged crisis between the two countries that has included formal declarations of war, threats of large-scale attacks, and diplomatic maneuvering.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the escalating US-Iran confrontation. On July 13, Iran issued a formal declaration of war, asserting that the two countries are now in a direct military confrontation. Days earlier, President Trump threatened to 'eliminate' the Iranian leadership and announced plans for 'significant attacks' against Iran. The same week, Trump declared the war with Iran over, a claim later contradicted by Tehran's mayor, who called the conflict 'a war of existence.'
The new statement from Iran's president is the most direct yet from Tehran's leadership, but it remains unclear whether it reflects a shift in policy or a rhetorical posture. No immediate response from the White House or the Pentagon has been reported.
