President Obama Addresses the United Nations

"It is time to leave the call of violence and the politics of division behind. On so many issues, we face a choice between the promise of the future, or the prisons of the past. And we cannot afford to get it wrong. We must seize this moment. And America stands ready to work with all who are willing to embrace a better future.”

- President Barack Obama

UN Security Council Urges Iran Nuclear Compliance

“Every three months, this Council takes note of the latest IAEA report showing Iran's continued defiance. Every three months, we witness Iran's latest leaps forward in its prohibited nuclear activities. This Council cannot afford to be complacent.
