Iran’s president declared they were in a “total war” with the US, Israel and Europe, just as Tehran looks to rebuild its nuclear capabilities and strengthen ties with Hamas.
Masoud Pezeshkian made the bold statement in an interview published in state media Saturday, Barron’s reported.
“In my opinion, we are at total war with the United States, Israel and Europe. They want to bring our country to its knees,” Pezeshkian said.
“This war is worse than the one launched against us by Iraq. On closer inspection, it is far more complex and difficult,” he said, in reference to the 1980-88 war with Iran’s western neighbor.
The claims come amid UN sanctions on Iran — orchestrated by France, Britain and Germany — due to the regime’s continued pursuit of nuclear weapons.
It also follows the 12-Day War with Israel in June, when the Jewish state obliterated much of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear capabilities — with the assistance of devastating US airstrikes.
As tensions between the Middle Eastern rivals ramps up, a Tehran-backed candidate is also likely to win a major election to a leading role with Hamas.
Khalil al-Hayya, a Palestinian politician, is expected to beat out Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal in an election for head of the groups political bureau, which could be decided in the coming days, sources told Saudi Arabian outlet Asharq reported.
al-Hayya is considered to be close to Iran, according to those same sources who told the outlet he would have a clearly adversarial stance toward Israel — as a tenuous Gaza peace deal hangs in the balance.
The election is held among Hamas’ general Shura council, composed of 50 members. It was originally scheduled for earlier this year, but the terror group “ruled out” holding the vote until the war completely ends, sources told Asharq.

What happens when we don’t finish an enemy off.
Europe just surrendered.
Not the wisest move, even for insane arrogant ayatollahs.
Democrats.
How about no. We don’t need another neocon war we are $38T in debt.
It’s good that I’m not president. If I were president, if any country declared “total war” on the US, I would vaporize their capital within 24 hours. Maximum carnage.
That’s about the dumbest thing i have EVER heard!
Iran has been a pain in the neck, a thorn in our side for friggin’ years now.
“This war is worse than the one launched against us by Iraq.”
He’s not as dumb as he looks. But he still doesn’t compute the surgical removal of his nuclear sites. He and Zelenskyy were brothers from another mother. (Or goat)

All that caring about avoiding Iranian population centers and making sure only the nuclear facilities were bombed by the B2s.
I feel sorry for Trump.
Wasting his time on sincerely working for world peace which is always elusive.
And the voters don’t care at all. Very few could place the names on world maps of key countries such as those engaged in the 8 violent conflicts settled (for now) by Trump’s effort.
People care about crime, illegals, wasted tax money on welfare hogs including illegals, and everyday price inflation.
They will vote for the person who makes the most convincing promise of send them goodies.
If Trump takes us to war with Iran then you can kiss Vance and every other Republican candidate in ‘28 goodbye.
A distraction for the mullahs and the fact there is no water in the nation.
Now you know why Israel finished off enemies in the OT.
Good strategy or not, it was a satirical song played by rock station DJs at one time long ago.
History:
“The satirical “Bomb Iran” song, to the tune of The Beach Boys’ “Barbara Ann,” gained radio play in late 1979 and early 1980, particularly during the Iran Hostage Crisis, with versions by groups like the Baritone Dwarfs and Vince Vance & The Valiants, becoming popular on regional radio, while later getting a resurgence when Senator John McCain sang it in 2007.”
That’s ok boys, watch out for that lithium-7.
Castle Bravo was the first in a series of high-yield thermonuclear weapon design tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, as part of Operation Castle. Detonated on 1 March 1954, the device remains the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the United States and the first lithium deuteride-fueled thermonuclear weapon tested using the Teller–Ulam design.[1][2] Castle Bravo’s yield was 15 megatons of TNT [Mt] (63 PJ), 2.5 times the predicted 6 Mt (25 PJ), due to unforeseen additional reactions involving lithium-7,[3] which led to radioactive contamination in the surrounding area.[4]
We are not yet done with Iran. The Mullahs will not go peacefully into the night. We can ignore them as they buy a nuke from North Korea or build a rocket able to hit New York or just keep on with the war in place. This is unfinished business that may well bite us in the arse when we least expect it.
“They want to bring our country to its knees,” Pezeshkian said.”
No. We want to bring you and the mullahs to their knees.
Get out of the way and free the people of Iran.
Who’s capital city is out of water!
