Iran's President Departs for UN General Assembly, Saying 'We Overcame with Our Heads Held High'

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated his hardline stance on the 22nd (local time) as he departed to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

According to Iranian state television, President Pezeshkian said, "We have overcome with our heads held high, which is a source of our dignity and pride," adding, "We will resolutely defend our position on the international stage."

He emphasized, "The issues we will raise at the UN General Assembly are clarifying the damages suffered by the Iranian people, the crimes committed (by the U.S. and Israel) up to now, and the accumulated distrust."

"They are afraid of their crimes being exposed," he added. "That is why they blocked Iranian press corps from accompanying us, but by effectively managing and delivering our message through the numerous international media outlets present at the scene, we can sufficiently make the voice of the Iranian people known."

He pointed out, "We went to the negotiating table multiple times and signed agreements. Unfortunately, as the whole world witnessed, promises were not fulfilled and the signed agreements were trampled upon."

He further claimed, "The enemies are trying to subjugate the Iranian people by every possible means." He added, "Having failed with military means, they are exploiting media and division, and utilizing our weaknesses to the utmost to weaken us from within."

President Pezeshkian is scheduled to attend the high-level session of the UN General Assembly opening in New York on the 22nd (local time) with leaders of parties involved in the Middle East conflict, including Israel, and is scheduled to take the podium to deliver a speech on the morning of the 23rd.
