New York — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s appearances for media in Iran are strictly controlled events. However, on Thursday he engaged in discussions with a group of reporters in New York, during which he represented the Islamic Republic of Iran before the United Nations. Despite leading a nation at war with the United States, he enjoyed the protection of the US Secret Service.
In a lengthy session, held at the Millennium Hilton hotel close to UN headquarters, Pezeshkian reiterated Iran's stance on the ongoing conflict, its nuclear ambitions, and discontent within Iran. He also addressed the impact of sanctions on the Iranian populace and asserted that Iran would never seek to harm Donald Trump, despite accusations from the US authorities of plotting his assassination. The remarks were made in a hotel function room in Manhattan.
