> The US State Department says Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and other senior officials will be allowed to travel to New York for next week’s UN General Assembly, despite the ongoing US-Iran war and intermittent talks to end it. The smaller delegation will face travel restrictions, and Pezeshkian is scheduled to speak on September 23.
