Trump Vs Pezeshkian: UNGA Showdown As U.S.-Iran Talks Continue Behind The Scenes

US-Iran tensions escalated at the United Nations General Assembly as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded to US President Donald Trump’s warnings over the war. Pezeshkian rejected what he described as US pressure and said Iran would not surrender, while also leaving the door open to diplomacy and negotiations. The Iranian president accused the US and Israel of attacks on civilians and defended Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear technology. A US delegation walked out at the start of his UNGA address. The developments came after Trump warned that Iran could face devastating consequences without a deal, even as indirect US-Iran talks continued in New York.
