Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has characterized the current situation, including military conflict with the United States, as a 'total war.'
According to AFP and local Iranian media, President Pezeshkian stated during a meeting with senior judicial officials in Tehran on July 20 that 'Iran is currently engaged in total war' and emphasized that 'this war is not simply fought with missiles.'
He highlighted that 'both military clashes and the economy, as well as the lives of citizens, are major fronts in this war.' This reflects the need to maintain stability in the face of external pressures and domestic issues, particularly concerning prices and the supply of essential goods.
President Pezeshkian noted, 'The enemies have concluded that they cannot force the surrender of the Iranian people through military strikes alone,' stressing the importance of unity between the government and the citizens.
These remarks come amid ongoing military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran, including airstrikes and missile and drone attacks.
