Iran's Reduced UN Delegation Heads to New York as US Tensions Persist
Iran's delegation is set to arrive in New York on Tuesday for the UN General Assembly, with a reduced presence compared to last year. This comes as President Trump hints at potentially "very significant" developments amid ongoing Middle East conflicts. The US State Department confirmed it will allow Iran's core delegation, including President Pezeshkian, to attend, though travel restrictions and purchase bans will apply. Iran's state media reported Pezeshkian's departure for New York on Tuesday. Iran's attendance at the UNGA in a country it is at war with is unusual in recent years. The delegation is smaller than the 2025 meeting, and no US strikes on Iran have been publicly reported for over two weeks.
