Iran won't surrender but backs diplomacy: president

The Iranian president said the country supports diplomacy as it faces U.S. pressure and a conflict that has killed more than 150 school children.

  • Addressing the United Nations General Assembly, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Iran will not surrender in the war with the United States, though he believes in diplomacy to end the conflict.
  • Warning that he could "annihilate the Islamic Republic," Trump used his Tuesday speech to argue he has prevented Iranian authorities from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
  • Pezeshkian condemned US attacks on civilian targets, including a girls' school, while displaying photos of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and more than 150 school children killed early in the war.
  • During the speech, the United States delegation walked out of the General Assembly as Pezeshkian claimed the Iranian people have been "victims of terrorism" by the US.
  • Pezeshkian warned that permanent deployment of hostile fleets will not lead to peace, as the Strait of Hormuz remains a critical focus of tensions between Iran and the United States.
