Trump vs Pezeshkian in US: Iran president’s biggest Houthi admission yet as Saudi Arabia gets bombed

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a defiant message from New York, insisting Tehran will not surrender under U.S. military or economic pressure. In an interview with Fox News, Pezeshkian said Iran did not choose the war and warned that if attacks continue, Tehran will respond “strongly” and “resolutely.” He also rejected claims that Iran directly controls Yemen’s Houthis, saying the group acts independently despite contacts with Tehran. Pezeshkian then pushed back on U.S. accusations of terrorism, portraying Iran instead as a victim of foreign attacks.
