Iran’s president says his country’s people have been ‘victims of terrorism’ by the United States - live
Masoud Pezeshkian says ‘we have only defended ourselves’ as US delegation walks out during his speech These latest attacks come just hours before Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s address to the UN general assembly, so he is likely to reflect on them during his UN speech later.
What the coverage shows
Coverage splits between Trump’s UN speech on Iran and, in a separate cluster, Andy Burnham’s first address as UK prime minister. Most outlets foreground Trump’s threat to “annihilate” Iran and the diplomatic backdrop, while the Washington Post, New York Times and Fox News focus on Republicans breaking with him in tight races. On Burnham, BBC News uniquely highlights Russian disinformation and new global AI standards, with The Independent adding Kremlin criticism of his speech.
