Iranian president held up images of slain children in UN General Assembly, and US delegation promptly stormed out

The United States delegation to the United Nations exited the General Assembly Hall in New York on Wednesday as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian displayed images of children allegedly killed by United States strikes, Raw Story reported. This move left the Iranian president to finish his address to an empty section of the hall previously occupied by the American team.

The incident occurred during an intense session at the United Nations, taking place just one day after President Donald Trump issued a threat to annihilate Iran from the same podium. President Pezeshkian used his time at the microphone to deliver a sharp condemnation of the current administration. He specifically referenced the recent start of a war against Iran initiated by President Donald Trump.
