US President Donald Trump tells the UN General Assembly that a deal regarding Iran is close, hours after he threatens the US could “annihilate” Iran. The remarks come as international negotiations remain ongoing and diplomatic pressure continues alongside security rhetoric.
In a separate part of the same reporting, Tehran offers to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, signaling willingness to ease shipping and regional tensions. The two outlets frame the timing as notable—Trump’s hard-edged language immediately before his optimism about reaching an agreement—while also emphasizing Iran’s proposal as a potential pathway to de-escalation.
Both sources focus on the same sequence of statements from Washington and Tehran, but neither provides detailed terms of any prospective agreement. They present the developments as part of a broader effort to move toward an Iran-related deal and reduce tensions in a strategically critical maritime corridor.
