President Trump told the UN General Assembly he faces a choice between a deal with Iran or its annihilation, asking whether he should "obliterate the Islamic Republic" quickly. Trump framed the decision as allowing Iran to rebuild into a major Middle East power or destroying it without a chance to harm others. He issued this threat from the UN podium, an organization created to prevent war. He suggested a deal is likely after November's midterm elections, claiming Iran is waiting to see the outcome. Trump previously faced criticism for threatening to erase Iranian civilization on Truth Social.
