Iran’s Pezeshkian Tells UN His Country Is ‘Victim’ of US ‘Terrorism’

  • On Wednesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations General Assembly, displaying photos of schoolchildren killed in a February strike on Minab and rejecting claims that Iran is a terrorist state.
  • The February 28, 2026, air strike in Minab killed more than 150 people, including about 120 children, and UN investigators identified reasonable grounds to believe the attack on the school constituted a war crime.
  • U.S. investigators linked the Minab strike to outdated imagery and excessive reliance on artificial intelligence, prompting Senators Jack Reed and Kirsten Gillibrand to demand a complete congressional investigation into targeting processes.
  • President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday he could 'annihilate' Iran without a deal, while Pezeshkian insisted 'diplomacy is continuing' as U.S. and Iranian officials engaged in indirect talks via a Qatari mediator.
  • Pezeshkian also challenged the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz, warning that permanent hostile fleet deployment and expanding war will not lead to regional peace.
