00:14and he actually recalled the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei earlier this year.
00:22Masood Pazishkian also targeted the United States over the strikes on that Minab school.
00:29In which 166 people including 120 schoolgirls lost their lives and the question he asked was who's a terrorist here
00:40or what's to that effect?
00:41Why were bombs and weapons used against a school and these were strikes by the United States.
00:49He accused the US and Israel of trying to destabilize not just Iran, not just the region but the entire
00:57world.
00:57He said these little girls at the Minab school, they were innocent, they hadn't committed any crime but they paid
01:05with their lives.
01:07This is Masood Pazishkian's first speech at the United Nations General Assembly post the escalation of war.
01:1528th of February was when US and Israel bombed Iran.
01:20And this comes just days after US President Donald Trump once again tried to put pressure on Iran to either
01:26make a deal or get destroyed.
01:30He threatened to annihilate Iran.
01:33I'll get you that but before that let's listen in to Iran's President Masood Pazishkian at the United Nations General
01:38Assembly.
01:40America and Israel attacked us equipped with the latest technology and weapons systems and our people stood steadfast.
01:49Yes, they did hit us but we did not bend the knee.
01:52We did not bow our head.
01:55We responded but we did not hit civilian populations.
01:59They came into surrounding territories and targeted our universities, our healthcare centers, our schools, our hospitals, our infrastructures, all of
02:13it against international law.
02:15Now, when I took over the responsibilities as president, they assassinated Ismail Haniyeh in Iran on the day of my
02:23inauguration.
02:26I had prepared a speech to present to you yesterday.
02:32The United States President described us as terrorists.
02:37We have been the victims of terrorism.
02:44I come from an Iran in which our esteemed supreme leader was assassinated without any legal framework or reason.
02:59I come from an Iran where in truth they bombed a school.
03:07You see these children?
03:13These children perished under bombs with weapons used by the United States and Israel.
03:23They were innocent.
03:25Had committed no crimes.
03:30Lamert, one of the small cities in a province in Iran, a sports hall where children were busy playing.
03:43The United States, by using weapons with multiple warheads, targeted that sports hall.
03:54They martyred, assassinated our scientists, our men, women, and children.
04:02Innocent children whom in truth had committed no crimes, no sins.
04:08Those who are terrorists and train and protect terrorists describe us as such.
04:16We have only defended ourselves.
04:18We are not terrorists.
04:21Our innocent people have been the targets of cowardly attacks and aggressions imposed upon our country.
04:33And we defended ourselves.
