This is the best summary I could come up with:
Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi, in a lengthy set-piece speech to the UN general assembly, accused America of fanning the flames of violence in Ukraine, prompting protests from Israel’s representative to the UN.
Raisi’s triumphalist speech claiming he had overcome US intelligence efforts to topple his regime, asserted the future belonged to countries in his sphere and the days of the west were over.
On the day of Raisi’s speech the US imposed new sanctions on individuals and entities from Iran, China, Russia and Turkey, after Russian troops launched a new massive drone attack on Ukrainian cities.
The fresh restrictions from the US treasury department targeted seven individuals and four entities linked with Iran’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and military aircraft development.
The Iranian side said the meeting had discussed sanctions lifting and the hopes that the recent prisoner exchange between the US and Iran completed on Monday could usher in better diplomatic relations, something that seems increasingly unlikely.
The CFR event only became public over the weekend, when senior fellow and Iranian dissident Roya Hakakian declined the invitation via a message on X, formerly known as Twitter.
