Who protects Pezeshkian in New York?

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is attending the 81st UN General Assembly in New York under tight security and movement restrictions amid heightened US-Iran tensions. The US Secret Service is responsible for his protection. US diplomatic security protects other Iranian delegation members, with support from New York Police Department intelligence, investigators, and highway patrols escorting the delegation. The delegation's movements are restricted to UN headquarters, JFK Airport, and Iran's mission, requiring prior State Department approval for other travel. Luxury goods purchases remain banned under US sanctions. Similar restrictions were imposed on Iranian officials in 2019 during past tensions. President Donald Trump has hinted at major upcoming decisions regarding Iran, while Tehran warns of retaliatory strikes on US interests if attacked.
