One day after a high-profile Iran-U.S. prisoner swap, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told the U.N. General Assembly the U.S. “project to 'Americanize' the world has failed” as he hailed a new world order. He also called on the U.S. to revive the Iran nuclear deal it exited under President Trump.

President Ebrahim Raisi: “America should demonstrate its goodwill and genuine willingness to fulfill its commitments and conclude the path.”

Outside the U.N. headquarters, protesters gathered to condemn Iran’s crackdown on dissent and protests. This week marked one year since the start of Iran’s nationwide uprising following the death of Mahsa Amini while in the custody of Iran’s morality police.
