UN General Assembly live: Iran 'victim of terrorism,' Pezeshkian tells Trump
The second day of the UN General Assembly opened with speeches from world leaders, including Syria, Iran and Ukraine.
The second day of the UN General Assembly's high-level debate got underway in New York, with speeches from leaders including Syria, Iran and Ukraine.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the assembly that Iran had been a "victim of terrorism," referencing earlier US and Israeli military action against the country.
Syria's president also addressed the assembly, asserting that the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel since 1967, would remain Syrian territory, without naming Israel directly.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was also due to speak, continuing a session dominated by discussion of the Iran-Israel conflict and the war in Ukraine.
The gathering, running through September 28, has drawn a wide range of world leaders to New York for a week of speeches and diplomatic meetings on the sidelines.
