Iran’s big UN message to Trump: Pezeshkian says America does not understand a country it seeks to 'bully'
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused the US and Israel of attacking Iran and said Tehran had acted in self-defence during his UN General Assembly speech. His remarks came a day after US President Donald Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran if a deal was not reached. Pezeshkian said Iran “did not bend the knee”, while Tehran downplayed recent indirect talks with Washington.
