Trump tells UN he has 'big decision' on whether to 'annihilate' Iran or make peace deal
His tone contrasted with remarks earlier from UN Secretary General António Guterres, who warned global divisions were deepening.
President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly, outlining his options regarding Iran. He indicated he could "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if talks to end the conflict remain unresolved. During his speech, Trump highlighted his alleged accomplishments in the economy, immigration, and border security, as well as his stance against violent crime.
His address contrasted with UN Secretary-General António Guterres' warning that global divisions were deepening. Trump claimed that the ongoing war with Iran had prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He also vowed to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine and ensure the US dominates the artificial intelligence race.
