Trump tells UN he faces decision on Iran: 'annihilate' or deal

President Trump told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday he faces a major decision on the U.S. war in Iran, threatening to "annihilate" the country or pursue a deal that could be reached after November's midterm elections. Trump said Iran is waiting to see his midterm performance but insisted he gives "absolutely no credence" to the elections, stating his only priority is that Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. His remarks come amid rising U.S. gas prices, with the national average at $4.47, and his approval rating at 32 percent. Trump has a busy UN schedule Tuesday, including meetings with leaders from the UK, Japan, and Ukraine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump would be open to meeting Iranian officials, though nothing is currently scheduled.
