Iran’s leader hits out at ‘bully’ Trump in UN speech but signals willingness to talk
Summary
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian used his first UN General Assembly speech since the reported US-Israeli war with Iran to denounce Washington, reject capitulation, and defend Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. He nevertheless said Tehran remained open to negotiations without coercion. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly held a three-hour meeting mediated by Qatar. Iran is seeking sanctions relief, an end to military and naval pressure, and guarantees concerning the Strait of Hormuz, whose disruption has sharply reduced tanker traffic and increased energy-market concerns.
