> Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the UN General Assembly that Iran would never bend to President Donald Trump and that Iranians have been “the victims of terrorism.” A US delegate walked out. Pezeshkian also cited a deadly US strike on an Iranian elementary school at the start of the war and said Iran seeks nuclear technology “for progress, not to threat.”
