Iran’s president said on Saturday the country is facing a full-scale confrontation with the United States, Israel, and Europe, describing the pressure campaign against Tehran as more complex and damaging than the Iran–Iraq war.“In my view, we are in an all-out war with the United States, Israel, and Europe; they do not want our country to stand on its own feet,” Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview with the Supreme Leader’s official website.
He said the current war is worse than the Iraq war in the 1980s. “If one understands it properly, this war is far more complex and more difficult than that war.”
“In the war with Iraq, the situation was clear; they fired missiles, and it was clear where we would strike back. But here, they are now besieging us in every respect, putting us under pressure and in tight corners, creating problems—economically, culturally, politically, and in terms of security.”
Pezeshkian made the comments on the eve of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to the United States, where he plans to brief President Donald Trump on options for potential future strikes against Iran, amid concerns that Tehran is rebuilding ballistic missile production facilities and repairing air defenses damaged during the June conflict, according to NBC News.
Israel has told the United States that the recent Iranian missile drills may conceal preparations for a potential strike, Axios reported last Sunday, one day after Iran International reported unusual Iranian air activity spotted by Western intelligence agencies.
Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir raised the issue directly with Brad Cooper, head of US Central Command, warning that recent missile movements could serve as a cover for a surprise operation against the Jewish state.
Pezeshkian said on Saturday that Iran is "stronger than during the 12‑day war" with Israel in terms of equipment and manpower. "If the enemy chooses confrontation, they will naturally face a more decisive response."
In June, Israel carried out airstrikes and covert operations against Iranian military and nuclear sites, killing more than 1,000 people including senior officials and nuclear scientists.
Iran retaliated by launching hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel, killing at least 33 people, among them an off-duty soldier.
The United States helped Israel intercept Iranian attacks and later joined the Israeli campaign, bombing three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22.

Guess whose side the EU is on...

Lolz!
I will remind you that Dubya told us that Islam was a peaceful, friendly religion.

He also told us there were enough WMDs and connections to 911 to warrant invasion, regime change, and occupation for the indefinite future.
Amen, brother.
When the leaders of a country continually have thousands of people chant “Death to America” we will send them death from above.
Kill all tyrants.

Looks like the Iranians aren’t being picky about their targeting...
DIMocRATs are fellow travelers with enemies of Free America. What’s new???
Are there live stream broadcasts of the Iran war?
Yes, there are multiple live stream broadcasts covering the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States (often referred to as the Iran war or Israel-Iran/US conflict).
As of February 28, 2026, a major escalation has occurred: the US and Israel have launched joint strikes on Iran (described as "major combat operations" by President Trump and "preemptive" by Israeli officials), targeting military sites, nuclear facilities, leadership, and other key locations. Iran has retaliated with missile strikes toward Israel and US bases across the Middle East (including reports of impacts in places like Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, and Kuwait). Explosions, sirens, and emergency alerts are being reported in real time.

So Europe sitting on your hands worked again😎
They sure they want to do that?
The message was given not by Baghdad Bob but rather Teheran Eyal
Khamenei has wanted to violently share Islamic culture with the world for almost 50 years now. Trump is returning the favor. I hope the evil Iranian regime enjoys a taste of American culture. If, and it’s a big if, the current Iranian regime falls Trump will have grabbed the mother of all foreign policy successes. Regime change can only improve Iran’s chances of joining the modern world.
No, we've just had enough of those feet standing on the throats of those who yearn to breathe free around the world. And in Persia.
Well then, WWIII it is. Let us know how that works out for you, Iran
They must be Democrats.
They’ve been at war with us for 47 years. It’s just that now we’ve finally decided to shoot back.

“I will remind you that Dubya…”
…I think of that often. Didn’t believe it then, certainly don’t now
It would be weird if Iran did not send sleeper cells to the U.S. during the open-border period. Why are they not attacking?
