Iran's president says his nation is effectively in a state of war with the US, Israel, and Europe, accusing them of trying to weaken the country on multiple fronts. "We are in a full-fledged war with America, Israel, and Europe; they do not want our country to stand on its feet," President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview published Saturday on the website of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Politico reports.
