Iran sends reduced delegation to UN General Assembly in New York

cnn.co.jp (Japanese)

Iran's reduced delegation is set to arrive in New York on September 22 for the UN General Assembly, amid ongoing Middle East conflict and US President Trump's warning of potentially "very serious events" ahead. The State Department confirmed Iran's core delegation, including President Pezeshkian, will be permitted entry, though travel restrictions and purchase bans apply. The delegation is smaller than at the 2025 session before the US-Iran war began. Iran, a UN founding member, has attended for decades, but this marks an unusual appearance during active hostilities. No US strikes on Iran have been publicly reported for over two weeks, yet Trump's remarks signal possible major decisions.
