What happened
During the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, Donald Trump addressed the assembly and called on Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and return to negotiations. The Strait of Hormuz is the maritime channel through which Gulf oil is shipped to the rest of the world. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian arrived in New York to outline Iran's position on the ongoing war and alleged crimes.
Why it matters
The talks dominated the assembly agenda, alongside the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump defended his decision to go to war with Iran while issuing the ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian delegation largely walked out of the chamber during the speech.
