    Iranian account frames school bombing as U.S.-Israeli responsibility

    A social media account responding to Pezeshkian's speech drew a sharp contrast between Trump's characterization of Iran as terrorist and Iran's own casualties, invoking a school bombing it attributes to U.S. and Israeli weapons.

    “Trump nos describió como terroristas. Nosotros somos víctimas del terrorismo... Vengo de un Irán donde bombardearon una escuela. ¿Ven a estos niños? perecieron bajo bombas con armas de EEUU e Israel…”

    Pezeshkian tells UN: Iran is victim of terrorism, not terrorist state

    Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian addressed the UN General Assembly in an unusual wartime speech, directly responding to Trump by asserting that Iran has been victimized by U.S. terrorism. He referenced the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader as an extrajudicial killing and warned that Western pressure would only increase Iranian resistance.

    “Nuestro estimado líder supremo fue asesinado sin ningún esquema o razón legal. La resistencia del pueblo iraní no hará más que aumentar ante las sanciones, el incremento de la presión y las crecientes intimidaciones.”
    — Masud Pezeshkian
