UN: Iranian President Claims His Country is "Victim of Terrorism"
Before the United Nations General Assembly, Massoud Pezeshkian referenced the American and Israeli military offensive against Iran as well as the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday (September 23rd) that his country had been a "victim of terrorism", according to France 24.
He referred to the military offensive led by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran, without the report specifying the circumstances of this offensive.
The Iranian leader also referred to former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, saying he had been "assassinated without any justification and legal framework".
These statements are part of the speech delivered by the Iranian president to the United Nations, in a context of high tensions between Iran, the United States and Israel.
The initial report did not specify the reaction of other delegations present in the General Assembly to those remarks.
