Key Themes of President Pezeshkian’s Speech at the UN General Assembly: Iran is a victim of terrorism and aggression, not a terrorist state, and its military capabilities are intended for defense, deterrence, and safeguarding national independence. Iran remains committed to diplomacy and negotiations, but will not accept negotiations under threats, coercion, or pressure. Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful and serves development, medicine, industry, and energy needs; the nuclear issue must be resolved through diplomacy and an agreement that respects Iran’s rights. Regional security should be built through cooperation among the countries of the region, with Iran seeking strong and stable neighbors rather than security rivals. Freedom of navigation and the security of coastal states must be protected in the Strait of Hormuz, while foreign military deployments and the transfer of weapons should not contribute to regional insecurity. The humanitarian situation in Gaza and the Palestinian issue require international attention, justice, and an end to occupation, aggression, and displacement. International law and human rights must be applied equally to all countries, without double standards or their use as instruments of geopolitical competition. The international order should be based on equality, justice, diplomacy, and dialogue rather than coercion and war, while Iran remains determined to defend its independence, sovereignty, and national dignity.
