Iran’s Pezeshkian accuses Trump of ’bullying mentality,’ vows no surrender
On September 23, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations, criticizing US President Donald Trump's "bullying mentality." Pezeshkian pledged that Iran would not yield in the ongoing conflict with the US, but remained open to diplomatic solutions. In his wartime speech, the Iranian leader accused the US of killing civilians, showing images of schoolgirls harmed in a missile strike during the conflict's onset.
Iran maintains its right to a peaceful nuclear program, according to Pezeshkian. The US, frustrated by military efforts to force Iran's submission, is now implementing a sweeping economic blockade. The Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping route, has been a point of contention, with Iran seeking its unimpeded use.
