Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a defiant address to the UN General Assembly, presenting evidence of US strikes on civilians and declaring that Iran would never 'bend the knee' to pressure. The speech came after US President Donald Trump had threatened to 'annihilate' Iran if a peace deal was not reached soon. Pezeshkian said Tehran would not be bullied but remained open to dialogue, underscoring the fragile and high-stakes nature of ongoing US-Iran tensions following the recent Iran war and continuing nuclear talks.
