US President Donald Trump, speaking at the UN General Assembly, reiterates his case for the US campaign against Iran and warns that the United States could “annihilate the Islamic Republic” if no deal is reached to end the conflict. Multiple outlets report that he framed the ongoing war as preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Sources also describe variations in how Trump links his threat to timing and conditions. Some coverage notes he signals the US could pursue a deal after the midterm elections, while also warning that stronger military action could follow if Iran does not agree. Other outlets focus more directly on the aggressive wording of the remark during his address and its implications for the Middle East as tensions remain high.
