The Iranian president traveled to New York on Wednesday to address the General Assembly, an exceptional situation given the state of war between Iran and the United States.

This visit is taking place on the very territory of the power with which Iran is at war, a situation described as unprecedented by France 24.
Such a presence would only be made possible in the specific context of the annual UN General Assembly, which brings together world leaders in New York every year.
