Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations General Assembly, declaring that Tehran will "never seek to build a nuclear bomb" amid growing tensions over its nuclear program. His remarks come just days before the E3 (UK, France, Germany) deadline to potentially trigger "snapback" UN sanctions over alleged violations of the 2015 nuclear deal. Pezeshkian accused the European powers of acting under U.S. pressure and violating international obligations.
