Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Iran is engaged in a full-fledged war against the United States, Israel, and European nations. This declaration was made during a national security conference in Tehran, where the president outlined the complex and multifaceted nature of the pressures Iran is currently facing.
Nature of the Conflict
President Pezeshkian described the conflict as unconventional, involving various forms of warfare including:
- Economic warfare
- Cyber-attacks
- Propaganda
- Diplomatic pressure
He emphasized that these efforts aim to undermine Iran’s sovereignty and destabilize the regional environment.
Economic and Political Pressures
The president highlighted key tactics used by the opposing countries:
- Economic sanctions: Targeting Iran’s oil exports and financial sectors to restrict funding for nuclear and military programs.
- Political isolation: Curtailing diplomatic engagement and limiting international relations.
- Military threats: Heightening tensions with accusations and hostile postures, particularly from Israel.
Criticism of European Countries
President Pezeshkian criticized Europe for an inconsistent stance, accusing European nations of:
- Following the US lead rather than pursuing independent foreign policies.
- Supporting sanctions and limited diplomatic efforts.
- Complicity in maintaining a hostile environment towards Iran.
International Context
The United States has imposed strict sanctions, while Israel accuses Iran of supporting militant groups and nuclear weapon development, intensifying regional tensions. Meanwhile, European countries have sought to preserve the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), though recent negotiations have stalled.
Implications
Analysts interpret Iran’s declaration as a defensive move, urging national unity in response to external pressures. They also warn that this escalation could disrupt global energy markets, considering Iran’s significant role as a major oil producer.
