Trump threatens Iran with destruction over conflict

President Donald Trump warned Iran on Sunday that he faces a decisive juncture in the ongoing conflict, threatening severe consequences if Tehran does not change its behavior. He stated, "My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? They had better behave." In a Fox News interview, Trump outlined options including annihilating the country, allowing economic deterioration, or pursuing a diplomatic settlement, forecasting "very big things" soon. He said he would "probably be open" to talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ahead of the UN General Assembly. Trump cut short a Camp David stay to review strike options against Yemen's Houthis after their missile attack on Riyadh. US embassies issued security warnings, while Iran's security chief demanded an end to the war, unfreezing of funds, and lifting the naval blockade via Qatari mediation.
