Iran's President Defies Trump at UN, Accuses US of Terrorism Amid Ongoing Conflict
At the 2026 UN General Assembly, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a defiant speech rejecting US President Donald Trump's threats to "annihilate" Iran amid their ongoing conflict. Pezeshkian accused the US and Israel of terrorism and attacks on Iranian civilians, including a school bombing, while asserting Iran's right to self-defense and peaceful nuclear development. Despite tensions and a US delegation walkout during his address, Pezeshkian expressed openness to diplomacy without coercion. The speech highlighted disputes over nuclear oversight, regional security, and the strategic Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing indirect talks.
