Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations General Assembly, emphasizing that Iranians have been victims of terrorism. He pointed to the recent assassination of the Supreme Leader, as well as the US military strike on Minab primary school in Iran, while holding up photographs of the victims. At the UN headquarters in New York, Pezeshkian accused the US of initiating the war and attacking "our universities, our healthcare centres, our schools."
He insisted that Tehran did not target civilian populations in its retaliation against the attacks. Pezeshkian firmly stated, "Iran has never been an aggressor, has never started a war, and has always shown her commitment to the negotiating table. They imposed the war on us, but we proved that we are not afraid of fighting." In his concluding remarks, he directly addressed US President Trump, declaring, "We will never bow our head, or bend the knee."
