"Worse than the 80s" – Iran's President Pezeshkian Declares Full-Scale War with West
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declares a full-scale war with the US, Israel, and Europe, calling it more difficult than the 1980s Iraq war. Tensions rise ahead of the Trump-Netanyahu meeting.
It's a declaration that's shaking the foundations of Middle Eastern stability. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced on December 27, 2025, that his country is now in a "full-scale war" with the U.S., Israel, and Europe. This stern warning comes just two days before a high-stakes meeting between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu in the United States.
A War More Complicated than History
In an interview published on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's website, Pezeshkian didn't hold back. He claimed the current conflict is far more "complicated and difficult" than the 1980-1988 war with Iraq. That historical conflict saw over 1 million casualties, yet Pezeshkian insists the modern pressure from the West is a greater threat to Iran's stability.
The Shadow of the June Air War
The President's rhetoric follows a violent 12-day air war in June 2025, where strikes killed nearly 1,100 Iranians, including top nuclear scientists. In response, Iran launched missile barrages that killed 28 people in Israel. With Trump and Netanyahu set to discuss the "Iran problem" this Monday, Pezeshkian's words serve as a defiant message to the world stage.
