Iran’s president blames U.S., Israel for global instability in defiant UN speech
- On Wednesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused President Donald Trump of a "bullying mentality" at the United Nations General Assembly, declaring Iran would not surrender in the war while remaining open to diplomacy.
- Trump's address followed his combative Tuesday speech, where the 80-year-old Republican warned he could "annihilate" the Iranian government if a peace deal is not reached, seven months into the conflict.
- During his address, Pezeshkian held up images of children killed in a February 28 missile strike on a primary school in Minab, which killed more than 175 people, while the U.S. delegation walked out.
- Despite the rhetoric, Iran remains open to diplomacy though the two countries remain far apart; Brent crude futures fell 0.9 per cent to $102.13 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate futures eased 0.7 per cent.
- Tensions persist over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital conduit for global oil and liquefied natural gas, as Iran has conveyed conditions to reopen the waterway through mediators amid economic pressure threatening domestic unrest.
