Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, in his first speech to the body since the US and Israel launched the Iran war, France 24 reports.
The address follows US President Donald Trump’s speech to the assembly on Tuesday, in which he said he could “annihilate the Islamic Republic” and “drive them into hell”.
France 24 reported that all but one member of Iran’s delegation walked out during Trump’s speech.
The report lists Pezeshkian’s address as scheduled; it does not confirm whether he spoke or provide details of what he might say.
