The President of Iran, Ibrahim Raisi, will address the 77th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York amid protests across the country following the death of a civilian at the hands of the regime's modesty watch and the efforts to renew nuclear negotiations with the powers.
Raisi is expected to address in his speech (4:00 p.m. Israel time) the political deadlock and the attempts to renew the nuclear talks, which were stopped at the beginning of the month after a year of idle discussions.
In this context, the Iranian president met last night (Tuesday) with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron without significant developments at this stage.

During the bilateral meeting, Raisi criticized the European Union after they condemned the death of 22-year-old Mahasa Amini after she was arrested by police forces for allegedly not wearing the traditional hijab.
She was severely beaten by the chastity guard and died of internal bleeding.
"If the European Union wants to make statements about the situation of women, it should also address police violence against women in America and the West," Raisi was quoted as saying.
In the meantime, US President Joe Biden is expected to give a speech about an hour after his Iranian counterpart, and to address the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the tensions with Moscow, as well as the state of the Corona epidemic, which only a few days ago he declared to be "over".
However, Biden is currently under an internal economic crisis in the US in light of high inflation and rising oil prices, a direct consequence of the war in Eastern Europe and public support is still at an unprecedented low. The midterm elections threaten to make him a "lame duck" for the next two years of our term and therefore Developments in the nuclear talks as well as other significant steps in American foreign policy are expected to occur, if at all, only after November 8th.
As mentioned, after months of discussions and the transfer of drafts between Washington and Tehran, all parties involved in the talks with Iran express disappointment in the face of the developments in the negotiations.
The West made it clear that the Islamic Republic's latest answer is insufficient
On the other hand, Tehran demands the removal of all sanctions on its economy and especially the cessation of the IAEA's investigation in its territory. The chairman of the organization, Rafael Mariano Grossi, repeated that he has no intention of closing the investigation.
