Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a defiant speech at the United Nations General Assembly, rejecting claims that they are terrorists. He also brought photos to the rostrum, showing the audience photos of children he said had been killed in American and Israeli attacks on Iran.
'The US president described us as terrorists. We have been the victims of terrorism,' Pezeshkian said. 'We only seek to live independently. Are we the sources of instability? Those who are committing terrorism and committing crimes, are they the protectors of peace and stability?'
