World leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly in New York for the second day of high-level debates. The session followed remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, who had warned that the United States could take severe military action against Iran if a deal were not reached.
Iran's president took the podium and responded to the U.S. remarks, calling the United States a terrorist state. The exchange underscored the heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran during the annual diplomatic gathering.
The UN General Assembly brings together heads of state and government from around the world to address global challenges, including security, climate change, and development. This year's session continues through the week, with dozens of leaders scheduled to speak.
