At UN, Trump threatens to ‘annihilate’ Iran but predicts deal after midterms
The US president also rejected what he called a “globalist scheme” to regulate AI – which Australia has joined – and said the US will officially change the name to “super intelligence”.
US President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly, stating he had to decide whether to make a deal with Iran or to "annihilate" the Islamic Republic. He posed the question of whether to annihilate Iran quickly, or to make a deal that would allow them to rebuild and become a greater country.
Trump expressed his belief that a deal with Iran would be possible after the US midterm elections in November. According to him, Iran is waiting to see the outcome of the midterm elections before making a move.
Trump also rejected a "globalist scheme" to regulate AI, which Australia has joined, and said the US would officially change the name to "super intelligence".
