Iran-US war latest: Iranian president hits out at ‘bully’ Trump but says Tehran is ready for dialogue
Masoud Pezeshkian showed images of girls at the school in Minab, dozens of whom were killed in a strike on the first day of the war
What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on Masoud Pezeshkian using his UN appearance to attack Trump while also leaving open some form of dialogue. The Guardian US and The Independent use the most direct “bully” framing, while France 24 is more neutral and foregrounds the UN General Assembly setting and the conflict context. NBC News is the only outlet to lead with Iran warning about “new weapons,” and The Independent is the only one to mention images of girls shown during the speech.
