Iranian President at UN Defies Trump, Accuses US of Terrorism in Khamenei Killing

At the UN, Iran's president publicly challenged Trump, vowing Iran will never 'bow down' and accusing Washington of terrorism for the late-February assassination of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric, directly linking the US to a high-profile killing. The claim of US involvement is unverified and likely aimed at domestic and regional audiences, but the confrontation signals heightened tensions.
