Trump tells UN he faces decision on Iran: deal or military action
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, which he predicted could come after November's midterm elections. Trump said Iran could rebuild into a great nation under a deal, but he also vowed to act quickly if choosing military action, insisting Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon. He dismissed the midterms' influence on his decision, noting he is not running again. The address comes amid high U.S. gas prices averaging $4.47, Trump's approval at 32 percent, and struggling Republican midterm polls. Trump is scheduled to meet several world leaders, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he is open to meeting Iranian officials.
