New Facts: Pezeshkian rebuffs US pressure at UNGA
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian used his United Nations General Assembly speech to accuse the United States and Israel of terrorism and to say Iran acted in self-defense. He held up photos of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose assassination he blamed on the United States, and of more than 150 schoolchildren killed in the war's first days.
He told the chamber that Iran would never "bend at the knee" and would not surrender to military power. He said Iran is ready for dialogue and negotiations, but not under threats or the language of force.
The U.S. delegation walked out during the address. Pezeshkian also condemned what he called double standards, saying Israel carries out massacres while hospitals and schools are attacked and Iran is hit with sanctions.
