  "summary": "Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the UN General Assembly, stating that Iran would not surrender to US pressure. According to The Korea Times and South China Morning Post, Pezeshkian accused US President Donald Trump of having a \"bullying mentality\".\n\nPezeshkian said threats would only harden Iran's resolve, rejecting Trump's warning that he could annihilate Iran. The Korea Times reported that Pezeshkian described Trump's description of Iran as the world's leading sponsor of terrorism as hypocritical, given that the US supports terrorists.\n\nThe US delegation walked out at the start of Pezeshkian's speech, as reported by The Korea Times. Despite this, Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran remained open to diplomacy to end the conflict, but would not accept the language of force. France 24 noted that Iranian officials downplayed their talks with US counterparts on the sidelines of the general assembly as \"not anything new\".",
