Pezeshkian, who was present during the session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly on Sunday, defended Hemmati, a former central bank governor and presidential candidate. He told lawmakers: “We are in a full-scale [economic] war with the enemy. … We must take a war formation.”

Who is their enemy? Israel? Because at the moment The US is a Russian puppet and on Iran's side.
