Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told global leaders that Israel’s ramped-up attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon “cannot go unanswered” during his first address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday afternoon.

The Iranian president, in comments made both to the Assembly and during his time in New York City, urged the world to stop Israel’s wars in Gaza and Lebanon and that Hezbollah “cannot stand alone” in fighting back.
