UN General Debate: Trump Defends Iran War and Threatens Tehran with "Hell"

US President Donald Trump defended his war against Iran at the UN General Assembly, calling Iran "the tyrant of the Middle East" that is no longer in power. He reiterated that he will not allow Iran to possess a nuclear weapon. Trump also urged nations to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, which the US does not recognize.

He addressed various international conflicts, including the Iran war, the Ukraine conflict, and announced plans for two new US military bases in Greenland. Trump's speech was met with a lukewarm reception, with Iranian representatives appearing unimpressed.
