Azerbaijan Pardons French Spy‑Accused Man as EU Lifts Sanctions on Russian Billionaires

In a defiant address at the United Nations General Assembly, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned former President Donald Trump’s promise to "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if a deal is not struck. Pezeshkian warned that sanctions, intimidation and military pressure would only deepen the resistance of Iranians. He insisted any solution must restore access to the Strait of Hormuz, end the U.S. blockade of Iranian vessels and uphold Iran’s rights to a peaceful nuclear program. Despite the threat, the president reaffirmed his country’s readiness for diplomacy while rejecting any coercive language. The speech occurred amid ongoing tensions, after a series of missile and drone attacks on Israel and Gulf states and the U.S. response by blocking Iranian ports.
