Iranian President Pezeshkian showed photos of war victims during his UN General Assembly speech, prompting the US delegation to walk out. Pezeshkian said Iranians have been "victims of terrorism" for seven months, adding "we only defended ourselves." The speech followed President Trump's threat to "destroy" Iran without a deal ending the US-Iran war. US Secretary Rubio called the speech hypocritical, while Pezeshkian denied seeking nuclear weapons and criticized Israel's arsenal. He said Iran is ready for dialogue but will not accept violence.
