> Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will travel to New York for the 81st UN General Assembly, where he is expected to speak and meet leaders and officials from participating countries, IRNA reports. The planned visit comes as tensions with the US intensify. Iranian officials warn that another invasion would change the war’s “geography,” while the IRGC claims its air defenses shot down a US MQ-1 Predator over the Strait of Hormuz.
