Iranian President Pezeshkian Declares 'Full-Fledged War' as Trump and Netanyahu Prepare to Meet
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declares a 'full-fledged war' against the US, Israel, and Europe. His statement comes as Netanyahu and Trump meet to discuss potential new military actions against Tehran.
The drumbeats of conflict are growing louder in the Middle East. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that his nation's in a "full-fledged war" with the United States, Israel, and Europe. In an interview published on December 27, 2025, he claimed these powers don't want Iran to stand on its own feet.
More Complex Than the 1980s Iraq Conflict
Pezeshkian's remarks highlight a darkening geopolitical landscape. He compared the current pressure to the 1980-1988 war with Iraq, stating this modern confrontation is "far more complex and difficult." Despite the 1,000 casualties reported during the 12-day war in June 2025, the president insisted that Tehran's military forces are now stronger in equipment and manpower than they were six months ago.
Trump’s Maximum Pressure vs. Iranian Resilience
The timing of this declaration isn't accidental. It comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to meet Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago this weekend. Since his inauguration in January 2025, Trump has doubled down on his "maximum pressure" campaign, aiming to dry up Iran's oil revenues and cripple its economy.
The rift with Europe has also widened. In September, the E3 (France, Germany, UK) reimposed UN sanctions over nuclear concerns. According to Al Jazeera, Netanyahu is expected to push Trump for more military strikes, specifically targeting Tehran's missile program, potentially ending any hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough.
