Was attacking Iran necessary? Netanyahu vs. Pezeshkian

Netanyahu says destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities was necessary for survival. Asked by Bret Baier whether he wants a nuclear bomb, Pezeshkian says “not at all.” Baier challenges him about 60%-enriched uranium; Pezeshkian says Iran offered dilution and verification and objects to the strikes. Separate recordings broadcast on September 24, 2026: Netanyahu’s UN address on Kan 11 News, followed by Pezeshkian’s interview on Fox News Special Report with Bret Baier.

Delegations leave the hall around Netanyahu's September 24 UN address; he calls departing representatives cowards or hypocrites. The reports give different, attributed estimates: Fox says dozens, Vremya says nearly all in one account and hundreds in another, IRINN's headline says 77 while its introduction cites the Guardian for over 70, and a later IRINN feature cites Yedioth Ahronoth for 78. AUF1's 77-country figure includes representatives boycotting or staying away and is not an identical measure of people physically walking out. IRINN discusses the Iranian delegation leaving a Soleimani photograph and Baghaei's approving response. Kan's correspondent says delegates entered shortly before leaving and characterizes it as a provocation; that is the correspondent's interpretation. Vremya and IRINN emphasize Gaza accountability and frame the episode as isolation. No independent common count is supplied. Street demonstrations, arrests, Iceland's later response and the ICC warrant remain separate occurrences.
