Pezeshkian Calls Iran A ‘Victim Of Terrorism’ At UN, Accuses U.S. & Israel Of Strikes

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has accused the United States and Israel of carrying out attacks against Iran, declaring at the United Nations that his country is a “victim of terrorism.” In his wartime UN General Assembly address, Pezeshkian cited the deaths of civilians, children and Iranian scientists while condemning U.S. and Israeli military actions. He also accused Washington of using a “bullying mentality” but said Iran remained open to diplomacy. Pezeshkian’s remarks came amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict and heightened international efforts to find a diplomatic path forward.
