Iran’s President sparked controversy Sunday as he left Tehran for New York's United Nations General Assembly accompanied by a delegation of as many as 40 people, including his adult children. Among the entourage are Masoud Pezeshkian’s two sons, daughter, and son-in-law. Reports from outlets such as Modara and Tejarat News in Tehran indicate that in addition to close family members, several individuals linked to Elias Hazrati, the head of the government’s information council, also joined Pezeshkian on the trip.
