What to know

  • Iranian President Pezeshkian directly rebutted Trump's terrorism designation at the UN, showing images of Iranian casualties from U.S. and Israeli strikes.
  • A U.S. delegate walked out during Pezeshkian's speech, escalating diplomatic tensions.
  • Trump had previously suggested potentially "annihilating" Iran, framing a stark choice between diplomacy and military action.

“Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before — maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East, or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?”

    U.S. delegate walks out of Iranian president's speech

    As Pezeshkian displayed images of Iranian casualties and defended Iran against terrorism accusations, the U.S. delegate in the chamber gathered their materials and departed.
