Trump tells UN he faces 'big decision' on Iran: annihilation or a deal

President Trump told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday he faces a "big decision" on Iran, threatening to "annihilate" the country or pursue a deal, predicting an agreement after November's midterm elections. Trump said Iran is waiting to see midterm results, but he dismissed their relevance, insisting Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. His address comes amid high U.S. gas prices, record-low approval ratings, and growing Republican calls to end the war. The speech focused heavily on Iran, with the UN live stream cutting to an Iranian representative. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump is open to meeting Iranian officials, though nothing is scheduled.
