Trump’s threat to annihilate Iran to UN general assembly is stunning, even for him

US President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations general assembly, where he made a notable comment about Iran. According to The Guardian, Trump stated he had "a big decision to make" regarding Iran, which has resisted US efforts to go to war.

Trump's comments on Iran were highlighted by The Guardian as a significant moment, even for a leader known for making provocative statements at the UN. The US president's address was 40 minutes long, with the comment on Iran coming 11 minutes in.

The Guardian also noted that Trump's statement may have surpassed the notoriety of former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev's actions. Meanwhile, FXStreet reported on a separate meeting between Trump and Iranian officials, which was described as "very productive" and that another meeting is scheduled for the near future.
