Trump says Iran faces choice between 'annihilation' and 'greatness' after New York talks

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his team held a three-hour meeting with an Iranian delegation in New York, which ended one hour before his press conference preceding his bilateral talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump described the meeting as "very good" and "very productive," stating that Iran faces a decisive choice between "annihilation" and "potential greatness." He confirmed that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner participated, and indicated another meeting is planned "in the very near future." Witkoff expressed satisfaction with the talks, saying, "I feel very good right now. It's a blessing to work for President Trump." The meeting marks a notable diplomatic engagement between the US and Iran amid ongoing tensions.
