Iran's president shows war victim photos at UN; US envoy walks out

hindustantimes.com —

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian displayed photos of war victims during his UN General Assembly address on Wednesday, prompting the U.S. envoy to walk out. Pezeshkian showed images of an attack on a Minab school and slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, blaming U.S. and Israeli strikes. He rejected terrorism accusations, saying Iran only defended itself against cowardly attacks. The address followed President Donald Trump's Tuesday threat to "annihilate" Iran without a deal. Pezeshkian offered diplomacy but rejected the "language of force," also criticizing nuclear inspections of Iran while Israel holds such weapons.
