Iran’s president blames U.S., Israel for global instability in defiant UN speech
- On Wednesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the UN General Assembly, declaring his nation's people "victims of terrorism" by the United States and Israel in a rare wartime speech.
- These remarks followed President Donald Trump's warning on Tuesday that he could "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if a deal is not reached to end the nearly seven-month war.
- Pezeshkian displayed photos of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and more than 150 school children killed, claiming Iran needs nuclear energy for "peaceful purposes."
- The American delegation walked out during the speech, while Trump confirmed envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held three hours of indirect talks with Iranian representatives on Tuesday.
- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei downplayed the exchange, maintaining demands that Washington end its blockade of ports and release frozen Iranian assets.
