US President Donald Trump has said he believes the US will make a deal with Iran after the midterm elections on November 3. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump said it doesn't make sense for Iran not to make a deal, and that they are waiting to see how he performs in the elections.
Trump presented two possible outcomes for Iran: making a deal that would allow the country to rebuild and become a greater nation, or being "annihilated" and driven "into hell" with no chance of survival or future greatness. According to SABC News, he called on other nations to join the US in isolating Iran economically to force it to the negotiating table.
In his speech, Trump also mentioned that Iran had killed over 72,000 of its own citizens, including 10,000 during recent protests, as reported by Ajel English.
