On the international front, Iranian President Masad Peseskyin stated in a Fox News interview that Iran's supreme leader Majtaba Khamenei is completely healthy and actively directing the country's policies. Peseskyin said he met with Khamenei for several hours about a month ago. Khamenei succeeded his father after his assassination earlier this year. Peseskyin also reiterated Iran's willingness to pursue peace with the US, and it starts that nuclear weapons are religiously forbidden, though he blamed US military activity for hindering IAEA inspections.

1:03Meanwhile, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov met with his Iranian counterpart in New York. Moscow stated that both agreed only a diplomatic settlement can end the Middle East tensions, sparked by the US's Rayleigh War against Iran, stressing that US and Israeli actions provoked the crisis. In London, British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband warned Iran's foreign minister, Arbasa Rackchi, that the UK would not tolerate intimidation or hostile activity on British soil. Siting cyber threats from Iran-linked actors, Miliband urged de-escalation and diplomacy, according to a statement from the British government. The sharp rhetoric continued in New York, where NYC mayor Zoran Mamdani condemned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations General Assembly, calling it, baseless lies meant to sanitize his genocide of Palestinians, and referencing an international criminal court arrest warrant. Prime Minister Netanyahu responded directly during his address, labeling Mamdani antisemitic and detailing his associations.

2:06Outside the UN headquarters, demonstrators drew parallels between the Israeli Prime Minister and Satan, calling Israel a child killer regime, with an effigy of Netanyahu placed in a noose, according to the Times of Israel. Domestically, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was escorted from a restaurant in Bnei-Brock on Thursday evening, after right wing activists arrived, reportedly issuing threats and throwing objects, one of which struck a female staff member, police were on the scene and arrested a suspect. According to a police statement, the suspect was taken for questioning. In diplomatic outreach, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with leaders from several Latin American countries following his UN address, including Argentina's Javier Millet, as reported by the Prime Minister's office.
