Iran tells UN it is terrorism's victim, not aggressor; US walks out

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the UN General Assembly that Iran is a victim of terrorism, not an aggressor, directly rebutting US President Donald Trump's earlier remarks. The US delegation walked out during his speech. Pezeshkian displayed images of children he said were killed in a school attack by the US and Israel, and a photo of Iran's slain supreme leader. He asserted Iran only defended itself and has never bowed to pressure from America and Israel. Trump had previously threatened to "obliterate" Iran if no deal is reached to end the ongoing seven-month war. Hours after Pezeshkian's speech, Trump said his envoys met with Iranian representatives for about three hours, without providing details.
