❗️From Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's speech at the UN General Assembly:

• “Either we will build security together, or we will endure insecurity together.”

• “We do not ask permission from anyone to defend our country.”

• “We cannot speak of peace while ignoring Palestine. Lasting peace in West Asia will not last without justice for Palestine.”

• “Iran has learned one truth clearly in its long history: the world without power is dangerous, but a world that only understands the language of power will not have sustainable security.”

• “The nuclear bomb is in Israel, but the inspectors are in Iran. Israel kills, but Iran is sanctioned. This is a tragedy; if you tell this to anyone, they will laugh. It kills, and we are sanctioned.”

• “Let [Trump] know that threats make our nation more united and stronger, and increase the resistance of Iranians. They must know that the nation of Iran will not bow its head before force, and it will make the aggressors regret it. This is what Trump and those who want to bully must understand.”

• “We are ready for dialogue, but let them know that we will not accept the language of force.”
