On Wednesday, at the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a fiery address that sharply criticized the United States and U.S. President Donald Trump, while reaffirming Iran’s openness to diplomatic negotiations so long as they are not conducted under military duress. The high-stakes speech came just 24 hours after Trump warned in his own UN address that the U.S. reserves the right to “annihilate” the Islamic Republic of Iran if no negotiated agreement is reached, even as he acknowledged that backchannel diplomatic contacts between the two nations were already underway and expressed optimism that a resolution could be found.
