Diplomacy: Iran defends itself against Trump threats at the UN

Iranian President Massud Peseschkian strongly criticized US President Donald Trump's comments at the UN General Debate in New York, saying Iran is a victim of terrorism, not a terrorist. Trump had warned Iran of two possible outcomes: a deal that would allow Iran to achieve economic strength or the destruction of the Islamic Republic.
