On the second day of the United Nations General Assembly, Arab and Muslim leaders denounced the militarism engulfing the region. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded to President Donald Trump's speech, in which he threatened to "annihilate Iran" and expressed interest in a deal to end the war. Pezeshkian clarified that Iran is not a terrorist nation and that Israel has attacked them, not the other way around. American and Israeli attacks on Iran have killed numerous civilians, including children.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa also addressed the UN, criticizing Israel for its aggression and diplomatic isolation. He accused Israel of launching 500 air strikes, conducting over 1,200 incursions, and detaining 300 individuals in Syria. Sharaa emphasized that Israel's actions are in direct conflict with global consensus and international law. He reiterated that Israel's illegal occupation of the Golan Heights will not be tolerated.
