NewzIranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations General Assembly during a wartime session, where a U.S. envoy walked out during his speech. Pezeshkian used his platform to slam the ongoing war on Iran, accusing the United States and Israel of illegal attacks on civilians, while asserting that Iran would not be bullied.
The address followed a speech from the previous day in which U.S. President Trump threatened from the same podium to "annihilate" Iran. Despite the tensions and the walkout by the U.S. delegation, Pezeshkian stated that Iran remains willing to negotiate, closing his remarks with a direct message to Trump acknowledging the strikes against his country while declaring that Iran did not "bend the knee."
