Responding to recent statements from US President Donald Trump regarding potential sanctions and diplomatic deadlines following upcoming mid-term elections, Pezeshkian stated before world leaders that Iranian resistance will only strengthen under coercion. Rebuffing Washington's claims branding Iran a sponsor of terrorism, Pezeshkian asserted that Iran is itself a victim of foreign terrorism and aggression. To underscore his points, the Iranian president displayed photographs of victims of military strikes, including late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and 175 schoolgirls killed in Minab. Pezeshkian emphasized that any future diplomatic agreements with the United States would require an immediate end to maritime blockades, asserting that Iran must not be excluded from commercial and maritime benefits in the Strait of Hormuz while regional neighbors profit. American delegates walked out of the General Assembly hall during his speech, though Pezeshkian reiterated that Tehran remains open to diplomatic solutions despite ongoing hostility.
