# Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian has rejected US president Donald Trump’s characterisation of Iranians as “terrorists,” asserting Iranians have been “the victims of terrorism.” In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, he highlighted the bombing of a Minab school in February, which left 120 children and 26 teachers dead. The US has denied deliberately targeting civilians and is investigating the school strike. Pezeshkian said Iran will never bend to Trump, emphasising they are ready for negotiations without accepting the language of force.
