Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a forceful rebuttal to U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks during his own address to the UN General Assembly, characterizing Iran as a victim of American “terrorism.” Pezeshkian opened his speech by displaying images of Iranian civilians killed in U.S. strikes, framing the visuals as evidence of the human cost inflicted by U.S. and Israeli military actions against the Islamic Republic. The address prompted a walkout by the U.S. delegation from the General Assembly hall. France 24 International Affairs Editor Kethevane Gorjestani reports from the scene.
