Iran to Attend UN Assembly in New York — Even as Peace with US Remains Elusive
The Iranian delegation will hold consultations on regional developments after the United States denied visas to some members, including the president’s media team.
- On Tuesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian travels to New York for the 81st United Nations General Assembly, representing the Islamic Republic amid ongoing US-Iran conflict. He is scheduled to address the assembly on Wednesday, September 23.
- The State Department authorized a "core delegation" to attend but enforced strict travel limitations and prohibitions on the purchase of luxury goods per sanctions policy. This reflects ongoing hostilities between the two nations.
- Despite the UN Headquarters Agreement, Washington denied visas to members of the high-ranking delegation, including the President's media team. IRNA described this as an "unprecedented hostile action" by the United States.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will join the delegation to hold consultations on regional developments. Pezeshkian plans meetings with American elites and think tanks to outline Iran's position on the US-Israeli war.
- Amid the diplomatic gathering, President Donald Trump said he is in "deciding mode" and "very big things" could happen soon. Iran warned that any new US attacks would trigger sustained strikes on bases and regional interests.
