Trump says deciding between deal or driving Iran ‘into hell’

During his address at the United Nations General Assembly, former US President Donald Trump emphasized his stance on the potential for a deal with Iran. He stated that he needed to decide whether to annihilate Iran if it fails to reach an agreement that would prevent the Middle East war from escalating further. Trump posed a choice: would Iran be allowed to rebuild and potentially become one of the greatest countries in the region or the world, or would the Islamic Republic be swiftly destroyed to prevent further harm?

However, Trump reiterated his belief that a deal was still possible before the US midterm elections in November. This was primarily due to growing concerns over high fuel prices, which were largely attributed to the ongoing war. Trump argued that it made no sense for Iran to refuse making a deal, as they were waiting to see how he performed in the elections. He added that he was not planning to run for re-election, having already secured a significant victory.
