Iran calls Trump's annihilation threat a sign of 'strategic desperation'

di.se (Swedish)

Iran's military called Donald Trump's threat to annihilate the country a sign of "strategic desperation" after his Tuesday speech at the UN General Assembly urging economic isolation and a new agreement. The military coordination body stated the threats show the US is in a strategic dead end, citing American military exhaustion, and warned Iran is ready to launch even larger attacks than before. Behind-the-scenes US-Iran talks have occurred, with Trump calling them "very good," though a direct meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, arriving Wednesday, is unlikely. Brent oil traded near $98.80 per barrel.
