Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addresses the United Nations, saying Iran will not be “bullied” and will not abandon its civilian nuclear program. He rejects pressure from the United States and Israel, and frames Iran’s nuclear work as a right that Iran intends to pursue.

In his remarks, Pezeshkian also signals engagement rather than escalation, stating his country is open to dialogue and diplomacy, including with the United States. Both outlets report that he emphasizes international concerns and mentions issues related to regional security, including the Strait of Hormuz. The coverage broadly agrees on the core message: Pezeshkian rejects external demands tied to Iran’s nuclear activities while indicating that diplomatic talks remain possible.
