Iranian president issues stark warning as fears of a full-scale war with the US and Europe fuel WW3 concerns

It comes just months after Israel and the US fired strikes on Iran

Masoud Pezeshkian intensified tensions with remarks published on the website of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday (December 27).

It comes just months after Israel and the US fired strikes on Iran in June, killing approximately 1,100, including senior military commanders and nuclear scientists.

"We are in a full-scale war with the US, Israel and Europe; they don’t want our country to remain stable," Pezeshkian said in recent remarks.

He added: "If one understands it well, this war is far more complex and difficult than that war. In the war with Iraq, the situation was clear, they fired missiles, and we knew where to hit.

"Here, they are besieging us from every aspect; they are creating problems for us in terms of livelihood, culturally, politically, and security-wise."

Even though Iran was hit hard earlier this year, the Iranian president claims Iran's military is stronger than ever.

"Our beloved military forces are doing their jobs with strength, and now, in terms of equipment and manpower, despite all the problems we have, they are stronger than when they attacked.

"So if they want to attack, they will naturally face a more decisive response."

It was on June 22 that President Trump announced that US forces had launched air attacks on Iran.

"Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror," Trump said.

"Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."
