Iran in "all-out" economic, military, security war: president

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said Sunday the country is in an "all-out" economic, military, and security war with the "enemies."

Despite the U.S. pressure, "we are standing and making efforts to serve the people in the face of this unequal war," Pezeshkian said in a televised speech carried by the official news agency IRNA. The government is making "wholehearted" efforts to reduce inflation and resolve people's economic problems, he added. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said in a statement Sunday that the United States has no other way but to speak respectfully with the Iranian people, according to IRNA.
