Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's approach during a United Nations speech on Wednesday, alleging that Trump displayed a "bullying mentality." Pezeshkian reiterated Iran's stance that it would not yield in the conflict with the U.S., but remained open to diplomacy to resolve tensions. He warned that threats would only reinforce Iran's resolve and rejected Trump's assertion that he could obliterate Iran if no agreement was reached.
The Iranian president emphasized that the Iranian people would not submit to pressure, countering Trump's characterization of Iran as the world's principal supporter of terrorism. Pezeshkian repeatedly stressed Iran's willingness to negotiate with the United States but firmly rejected any approach predicated on force. The U.S. delegation departed before Pezeshkian's address commenced. The U.S. mission to the UN declined to provide immediate comment on Pezeshkian's remarks.
