What remains disputed or unverified

No disputed central claims are recorded for this story.

In a stark address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that Iran is a victim of U.S. terrorism. He showed photographs of civilians allegedly killed in U.S. strikes and blamed Washington and its Israeli allies for continuing military aggression. The U.S. delegation, citing the remarks, left the Assembly hall midway through the session.[1][2]

Pezeshkian Accuses U.S. of Terrorism

The president’s speech opened with a montage of images of Iranian civilians reportedly killed by U.S. airstrikes. He framed these incidents as evidence of the United States’ “terrorist” conduct against Iran, insisting that the nation faces direct threat from American military action and that its sovereignty is under assault.[1][2]

U.S. Delegation Walks Out

During the address, the U.S. delegation left the Assembly hall as a protest against the accusations leveled by President Pezeshkian. The walkout signaled deepening tensions and marked a rare instance of a country’s delegation abandoning a UN session in response to a foreign leader’s remarks.[2]
