Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday that his country was a "victim of terrorism," citing the US-Israeli military offensive against the Islamic Republic. He referenced the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as "outside any justification and legal framework," and warned Iran will not tolerate the Strait of Hormuz being used for aggression or to impose regional insecurity, accusing the US of blocking access to Iranian territorial waters. Pezeshkian insisted Iran has "never been an aggressor" or started a war, and told US President Donald Trump that Iranian resistance will only grow against sanctions, pressure, and intimidation.
