Trump tells UN he faces 'big decision' on Iran: strike or peace deal

President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly he faces a "big decision" on whether to strike Iran again or pursue a peace deal, prompting Iran's delegation to walk out during his speech in New York. Trump said he could "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if the conflict goes unresolved, while also vowing to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine and ensure the US wins the artificial intelligence race. His remarks contrasted with UN Secretary General António Guterres' farewell speech warning that global divisions are widening. Trump's address, pitched toward November's US midterm elections, justified the war with Iran that began in February, arguing it prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He also signed an agreement with Denmark and Greenland to beef up US military presence on the North Atlantic island.
