Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian projected defiance in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, saying the Islamic Republic would not surrender or give up its nuclear program in the face of President Trump’s military and economic pressure.

Pezeshkian said that Iranian “resistance” would only grow as he fired back at Trump’s threat to “annihilate” the Islamic Republic. The post Iranian Prez Warns Trump Tehran Will Not Fold to ‘Bullying’ in Fiery UN Speech: ‘Resistance Will Only Increase’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Iran's General Staff said the threats are "not a sign of power but a sign of their strategic desperation."

He says his country is ready for dialogue, diplomacy and negotiations, but will not accept the language of force.

Iran formally set out its conditions for ending the war as indirect talks with the United States intensified in New York on Tuesday, with the Strait of Hormuz and Washington’s naval blockade emerging as central points in efforts to turn renewed contacts into an agreement.

Iran’s latest set of conditions come as growing regional escalations causes oil prices to cross $100 per barrel.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian cast Iran as a victim of U.S. aggression at the United Nations General Assembly as a delegate walked out.
