Tensions escalated at the United Nations General Assembly in New York following former US President Donald Trump's address targeting Iran. Trump labelled the country as a leading sponsor of terrorism, accusing the regime of spreading carnage and chaos across the Middle East. While reiterating that Washington had offered economic cooperation in exchange for halting nuclear ambitions, he noted that talks were rejected and maintained that Iran would never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, all eyes are on Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's upcoming speech on American soil at the assembly, amid speculation over whether any diplomatic engagement or retaliatory rhetoric will unfold between the two sides.

00:00And like I said, crucial day at the UNGA, a day after President Trump.
00:04Today, Iran President Pazeshkian, who's in New York, in American soil, will be speaking at the UNGA.
00:12The question is, what really will his statement be?
00:15Because Donald Trump yesterday, in his address, lashed out at Iran, said,
00:20yes, we're ready for a deal, but also referred to Iran as a terror state,
00:24referred to Iran as a country that continues to push terrorism across the Middle East, across the Gulf.
00:31And so when he's made those comments constantly about Iran,
00:35the question is, what will be Pazeshkian's message as well?
00:38It is expected that there could be some sort of a meeting between Donald Trump and Pazeshkian,
00:44but that's something that's in the realm of speculation right now.
00:47No confirmation of whether it will happen, though Donald Trump has expressed interest reportedly in the same.
00:52Even yesterday in his speech, he made a mention of it, saying we are open to a deal,
00:58but he put the honours on Iran to go ahead and initiate that step.
01:03Listen in to what Donald Trump had said yesterday at the UNGA on Iran.
01:07It's a very good meeting. I mean, I must say, it's a very good fight.
01:10I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to do it.
01:13It's a greatness, potential greatness, or obliteration.
01:18What are you meaning to voice right now?
01:20In one case...
01:25Let's get you that highlight from what Donald Trump said at the UNGA yesterday in his address,
01:32where he called out Iran as a terror state.
01:35And so in such a situation, the question that will be asked is whether Iran will be willing
01:40to have any sort of dialogue.
01:42But mind you, even as Pazeshkian speaks at the UNGA, it's situated in New York.
01:46Would he go ahead and attack America?
01:49Would he go ahead and attack Donald Trump in such a scenario, where he's in New York speaking at the
01:55UNGA?
02:14There is no better example of a danger that was allowed to gather strength at the world's peril than the
02:21number one sponsor of terror,
02:23the Islamic Republic of Iran.
02:27For 51 years, the fanatical Iranian regime has ruled by bloodshed and mass murder,
02:36spreading death and carnage and chaos across the entire Middle East and beyond.
02:42They were the bully of the Middle East, but they are the bully no more.
02:45From the first day I entered the political arena, I've been unwavering.
02:51I will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
02:55Upon taking office last year, I immediately opened negotiations with Iran and offered them full economic cooperation
03:02in exchange for ending their nuclear program and support for terror.
03:07But they refused.
03:09They absolutely refused.
03:11That was a big mistake.
