New York’s diplomatic talks Vremya’s UN-week report

Sep 23

Vremya’s New York correspondent reports closed-door Rubio–Lavrov talks and Alimov’s visa refusal, then describes the U.S. G20 invitation to Putin and Peskov’s renewed Moscow invitation to Zelenskyy. The package recounts reported Zelenskyy–von der Leyen tension and the Trump–Zelenskyy exchange, Pezeshkian’s UN claims about killed civilians and Ali Khamenei, Lavrov’s Cuban, Egyptian and Syrian meetings and his refusal to pause fighting during negotiations. Allegations about Zelenskyy’s behavior are identified as online speculation, with the report itself stating gestures do not prove drug use. No negotiated settlement is announced.

During his September 23 UN address, Pezeshkian holds photographs of Iran’s late supreme leader and children killed in the opening attacks, naming Minab and Lamerd. He attributes the leader’s death and civilian killings to Iran’s adversaries, and describes the Lamerd sports-hall weapon as a cluster bomb. IRINN repeats those accusations and shows selected later reactions welcoming his display of the images. Vremya replays the leader and school accusations. ABC identifies the school photographs with Minab, calls the attack a suspected American airstrike and explicitly says the Pentagon is still investigating. The photographs, his attributed allegations and those different degrees of reported attribution are preserved; they do not independently establish the weapon, responsibility or a new casualty total. The February attacks and subsequent accountability efforts remain separate historical occurrences rather than being redated to the UN speech.
