Iranian foreign minister departs for UN General Assembly in New York
Iranian media report Abbas Araghchi has left Tehran for New York, with a stopover in Qatar, to attend the UN General Assembly.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is set to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to reports from the Tasnim news agency. The President will be addressing the assembly and expressing Iran's stance on various global issues, with a particular focus on the conflict between Iran and the United States.
In addition to his speech, Pezeshkian is expected to engage in discussions with leaders of several countries. The US State Department recently announced that senior Iranian officials would be granted permission to attend the General Assembly, despite the current tensions between the two nations. This decision allows a main delegation from Iran to participate in the meetings.
The Joint Armed Forces Command of Iran has also reported receiving information suggesting that the United States is preparing to resume military operations. In a statement, the command warned that any US attack would prompt sustained strikes on American bases and interests in the region. Furthermore, the command cautioned regional countries that support a US assault on Iran, stating that they would be considered parties to the conflict.
