Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday that he would strongly defend Tehran’s position during his visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, according to Iranian state television.

Pezeshkian said Iran would use the international gathering to present what he described as the country’s grievances and argue that its people had remained resilient despite what he called unfair treatment and injustice.

The Iranian president is scheduled to address the UN on Wednesday. His visit comes amid the ongoing Middle East war, which began in late February, making him the highest-ranking Iranian official to travel to the United States since the conflict began.

The US has approved UN visits for some members of Iran’s delegation despite the conflict. However, the State Department said the Iranian officials will face movement restrictions while in the country.

Pezeshkian departed Iran on Tuesday, saying his delegation would use the diplomatic opportunity to communicate Tehran’s position to the international community.
