Iran president says country in 'full-scale war' with US
Pezeshkian said the conflict is damaging Iran’s economy as Brent crude rose above $90 a barrel and shipping through Hormuz slowed, officials said.
- On Monday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated the Islamic Republic of Iran is in a "full-scale war" with the United States, adding that citizens must accept the conflict's consequences.
- Military strikes intensified Monday as the United States bombed a northwestern city in Iran, prompting retaliatory attacks from Tehran targeting Bahrain, home of the US Navy's 5th Fleet, and Kuwait.
- Identifying the economy as the "main battleground," Pezeshkian noted annual inflation has reached nearly 90%, warning that social discontent could damage the state's significant social capital.
- Benchmark Brent crude climbed above USD 90 a barrel Monday, while average US gasoline prices rose to USD 4 a gallon, adding financial pressure on Americans.
- Managing complex internal problems is "not an easy task," Pezeshkian noted, as the government confronts external conspiracies; historical protests against living costs resulted in more than 3,000 deaths.
