Trump says he faces a decision whether to "annihilate" Iran in UN speech

Trump said Iran could face a deal or far more destructive military action as he defended the seven-month war and reiterated that Tehran must never get a nuclear weapon.

  • President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, presenting Iran with a stark choice between reaching a deal with Washington or facing annihilation.
  • Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz has driven sharp increases in U.S. gas and energy prices over the past six months, intensifying pressure for a resolution to the conflict.
  • A CNN poll released Tuesday morning found just 29% of Americans approve of Trump's foreign policy handling, with only 26% approving his handling of the war.
  • Last week, seven Republicans joined Democrats in approving a symbolic resolution to curb Trump's war powers, though the measure requires his signature to become law.
  • Trump claimed Iran is waiting for midterm election results to negotiate, stating, "They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm elections," though he insisted his decision will not be influenced by the vote.
