UN General Assembly: Iranian president accuses United States of terrorism, Rubio warns Israel on West Bank
The day was marked by the accusatory speech of Massoud Pezeshkian and that of the U.S. Secretary of State, ahead of the expected intervention by Volodymyr Zelensky.
Wednesday at the United Nations General Assembly was marked by several strong interventions, starting with the speech of Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian, who accused the United States of terrorism against his country.
The US secretary of state also spoke during the day, including a warning to Israel about the situation in the West Bank.
A busy day at the UN
These speeches are part of the general debates of the 81st session of the General Assembly, which brings together many heads of state and government in New York this week.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's much-anticipated speech was due to take place in the evening, in a context marked by tensions linked to the war in Ukraine and by the successive statements of the other leaders present at the podium.
The day illustrates the diversity of the issues discussed during this session, between the conflict in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine and the broader tensions between major powers, in a format where each leader has a platform to present his or her position.
