Iran’s president said that his people have been “victims of terrorism” by the United States, delivering a rare wartime speech at the UN General Assembly a day after President Donald Trump said he could “annihilate” the Islamic republic.

President Masoud Pezeshkian held up photos of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the more than 150 schoolchildren killed on the first days of the war.
