Pezeshkian Arrives in New York as Trump Threatens Iran
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian went to New York for an important United Nations meeting.
He plans to explain Iran’s view of the war and what he says are crimes against the Iranian people.
He also wants countries to rebuild trust and help end the fighting.
US President Donald Trump warned that the United States could destroy Iran’s government if the two countries do not reach a peace deal.
Trump said he wants to make sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.
Iran says past agreements were not respected, so it does not trust some international organizations.
Members of Iran’s delegation left the meeting while Trump spoke about US military actions against Tehran.
Pezeshkian is also expected to meet other leaders and groups in New York.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian arrived in New York for the 81st United Nations General Assembly session.

US President Donald Trump warned he could “annihilate” the Islamic Republic if no peace deal is reached.
Trump said Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon and suggested a deal could follow the US election.
An Iranian delegation reportedly walked out of the General Assembly while Trump discussed US military operations against Tehran.

Quotes
Syed Abbas Araghchi
Iranian foreign minister
“But I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world. Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?”

“We will forcefully raise Iran's positions in international forums. The issues we will raise at the United Nations are expressing the oppressed state of the Iranian nation, the crimes that have occurred, and the distrust that has been created.”
