Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran would not yield to pressure but remained open to dialogue, delivering a defiant address at the United Nations amid possible talks with the United States.
In his speech, Pezeshkian presented Iran’s conditions, according to CNN, and emphasized that any diplomacy must proceed without coercion or force, according to Al Jazeera. Bloomberg described his message to Washington as defiant while raising the prospect of negotiations.
Separately, Iranian officials set a deadline for a U.S. response to Tehran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Washington had four to five days to respond, The Guardian reported. The report said it was unclear what action Iran might take after the deadline.
British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband also met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in New York for the first time, according to The Guardian.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei criticized Canada for not condemning what he characterized as U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to “annihilate” Iran. Baqaei said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney chose to appease Washington by reframing the remarks as merely “speaking the language of war,” CNBC reported.
