Iran's Masoud Pezeshkian addresses UN General Assembly Iran’s Masoud Pezeshkian is speaking now. “The US president described us as terrorists. We have been the victims of terrorism,” he says. He says the US “bombed a school” and “children perished under bombs with weapons used by the US and Israel.” He says Iran “did not bow our head … and responded, but we did not hit civilian populations,” but “only defended ourselves – we are not terrorists.” As he goes on, the US delegation walks out of the room. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/sep/23/united-nations-general-assembly-unga-zelenksyy-trump-xi-china-ukraine-russia-europe-latest-news-updates?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
