Trump at UN Threatens to 'Annihilate Iran' Without Nuclear Deal

g1.globo.com (Portuguese)

US President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that the US could "annihilate Iran" if no nuclear deal is reached, while touting American strength and his administration's record. Trump defended Middle East policy, reiterated that Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon, and proposed a post-election agreement, warning otherwise he would "annihilate the Islamic Republic to hell." He also cited the September 11 and October 7 attacks. The speech came amid a deep UN credibility crisis, partly fueled by Trump, who created a rival "Peace Council" body. Brazilian President Lula also spoke, rejecting US pressure on fighting criminal groups.
