Iran’s UNGA Moment
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called the U.S. government “terrorists.”
Day 3 of the U.N. General Assembly high-level week saw fiery speeches and technological concerns take center stage. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky both delivered addresses, while CEOs of leading artificial intelligence companies addressed the U.N. Security Council. World Bank President Ajay Banga had a conversation with Foreign Policy's editor in chief.
Pezeshkian made the most of his rare chance to criticize the United States on U.S. soil, rebutting remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Iran. He called Iranians victims of terrorism and criticized Israel's actions in Gaza. Zelensky, on the other hand, agreed with Trump's assessment of Russia's situation in Ukraine, urging world leaders to continue supporting Ukraine during its challenging winter.
