Iran's Presidency Declares A 'Full-Scale War' With The United States
President Masoud Pezeshkian's own office chose those words in writing the same day American strikes kept hitting Iranian soil.
- Presidency statement's exact wording: "today the Islamic Republic of Iran is engaged in a full-scale war."
- Declaration came from Pezeshkian's civilian office, not a military spokesman or IRGC commander.
- Revolver.news published the quote July 20, 2026, the same day strikes on Iran continued.
Why it matters: Once a president's office puts 'full-scale war' into writing, backing down becomes a domestic humiliation, not a diplomatic choice.
