Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, delivering a defiant speech in which he rejected U.S. pressure and described America as the 'true bully' in the Middle East. According to The Guardian World, Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran is open to dialogue and diplomacy but stressed that it must be conducted 'without the language of force.' This comes amid escalating tensions as the U.S. war in the Middle East approaches its seven-month mark.
During Pezeshkian's address, the U.S. delegation walked out, as reported by The Hill. This move followed the Iranian and Cuban delegations leaving President Trump's speech the previous day. Trump, in turn, has warned of renewed action against Iran, citing the need for a peace deal.
Pezeshkian also reiterated Iran's commitment to its nuclear program and vowed that the country would 'never bow our head' in the face of U.S. pressure, as noted by BBC World. The speech marked Pezeshkian's first appearance at the UN since the U.S. and Israel launched a major military campaign against Iran.
