Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will depart for New York on Tuesday to attend the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, the chief executive’s office announces.
The director general of public relations at the president’s Office, Habibollah Abbasi, made the announcement on Monday.
The president is scheduled to address the General Assembly on Wednesday, Abbasi said, adding that during the visit, he will also meet and hold talks with some heads of state and officials from countries participating in the assembly.
According to the official, the president’s schedule in New York also includes a meeting with prominent Iranians residing in the United States, as well as discussions with American intellectuals and think tanks.
A high-ranking Iranian delegation, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, will accompany President Pezeshkian.
Abbasi, meanwhile, described US refusal to issue visas to some members of the delegation, including members of the president’s media team, as “an unprecedented hostile move by the US administration.”
The 81st General Assembly session is to begin on Tuesday at the UN headquarters in New York under the general theme of restoration of trust among nations.
President Pezeshkian’s visit comes nearly eight months following the launch of the latest round of the United States’ and the Israeli regime’s unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic.
US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral ceasefire on April 7 amid consistent Iranian retaliation, but American violations have persisted, including through Washington’s keeping up an illegal naval blockade of Iranian ports and vessels and carrying out intermittent attacks on Iranian targets.
Earlier this week, President Pezeshkian said Iran was ready to resolve differences with its neighbors through dialogue and mutual respect, while denouncing Washington and Tel Aviv for seeking to sustain tensions in the region.
I mean he’s going to just be arrested right? I guess that’s one way to end the war. Trump can just say they arrested the president so they won and he can save face that way
As an aside I can’t wait to see the struggle session here when Mamdani’s NYPD does this arrest but doesn’t arrest satanyahu
“You don’t understand! His hands are tied! I mean, what would YOU even do in this situation?”
I would abolish the police
If mamdani called for the creation of Red Guard-like paramilitary units to keep order people would volunteer in droves
If.
except huey long. unfortunately he’s a paternalistic conservative not a socialist.
The more people get aware that the DSA is a pos not different from the rest of the Democratic Party the better.
I don’t think anything short of material conditions is going to force people to stop putting faith in DSA and Democrats.
Nah they wouldn’t just arrest and kidnap the head of state of another country, that would violate international law which the USA is very serious about! Anyway I wonder how Maduro is doing these days.
excited about the arrival of his new cellmate I bet
“What you in for?”
“I didn’t want to give my country’s oil to the US” “No kidding?”
It’s even cooler if you think about it “I didn’t let ANYONE get several countries’ oil until we were given a fair shake”
