Middle East leaders are gathering at the UN General Assembly in New York as regional wars continue, with the U.S.-Iran conflict, Yemen fighting, and Israeli operations in Gaza and Lebanon topping the agenda. Iranian President Pezeshkian accused the U.S. of trying to force surrender, while Gulf states urged Iran to halt attacks on shipping lanes. Israeli PM Netanyahu is visiting but won't meet Trump, and strikes in Yemen killed seven people. Iraqi officials discussed militia disarmament with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, though Iran-backed groups have refused to surrender arms. Protests are expected during Netanyahu's UN speech, with New York's mayor calling for his arrest.
