    Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the United Nations General
    Assembly on Wednesday that Tehran will never obow its heado to US
    threats but is open to diplomacy, a day after President Donald Trump
    threatened to oannihilateo the Islamic Republic.

    Addressing Trump directly, Pezeshkian said the US leader omust know
    that the resistance of the Iranian people will only increase in the
    face of sanctions, increased pressure, increased bullying. We will
    never bow our head[s] or bend at the kneeo.

    Israel and the US attacked Iran in February amid negotiations over its
    nuclear programme. The war has dragged on, with two ceasefires
    collapsing, and pulled Arab Gulf states into the conflict, as well as
    Yemen and Lebanon.

    Pezeshkian began his speech holding a photo of IranAs 86-year-old
    Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was assassinated on 28
    February in the opening salvo of the US-Israeli attack.

    He also shared photographs of Iranian children killed by US air
    strikes and their graves.
