Iranian president tells UN: We resisted US attacks, will not yield

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the UN General Assembly, expressing Iran's rejection of the US blockade and its right to possess nuclear technology. He stated that the United States is imposing a blockade on Iran, restricting its access to waterways. Pezeshkian cautioned against expanding the conflict, emphasizing the importance of resolving regional issues within the region itself.

Iran seeks cooperation for security, he asserted, insisting that nuclear technology is an integral part of Iran's right to development. He clarified that Iran's need for nuclear energy does not imply a pursuit of nuclear weapons. Pezeshkian denounced the US president's characterization of Iranians as terrorists and criticized the US for targeting Iran's infrastructure. He highlighted that the world today acknowledges only the language of force.

Iran, he said, is in a region where war knows no boundaries. Pezeshkian condemned the US president's labeling of Iranians as terrorists, asserting that Iran has withstood US attacks and will not yield. He stated that the United States and Israel have targeted Iran's infrastructure, noting that the international community recognizes only the language of force. Pezeshkian emphasized Iran's desire for cooperation to achieve security without resorting to force to dominate or secure its own interests at the expense of others.
