Trump issues ultimatum at UN: deal with Iran or "annihilate" its regime
Trump told the 81st UN General Assembly he faces a "big decision" on Iran: a deal that lets it rebuild, or to "annihilate the Islamic Republic" quickly. He predicted a deal right after the US midterms.
Why it matters
This is the bluntest public threat Trump has issued to Tehran nearly seven months into the US-Iran war. He coupled it with a call on all nations to join the "complete economic isolation" of Iran.
Full report
On September 22, Trump addressed the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York in a speech of about 37 minutes. "I have a big decision to make," he said. "Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?"
Trump predicted a deal would come "right after" the November 3 midterm elections, saying Tehran is waiting on the results. He insisted the midterms would not influence his decision: "The only thing that does is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon." He urged every nation to join the complete economic isolation of Iran until it stops attacking commercial shipping, abandons its nuclear ambitions, and ends support for terrorism.
