Trump threatens Iran's 'annihilation' in UN speech, warns of 'hell' if no peace deal

President Donald Trump threatened to "annihilate" Iran during his UN General Assembly speech, saying he faces a "big decision" between a new attack or a peace deal. He asked whether to "send them to hell" if the conflict remains unresolved. Trump justified the war with Iran, which began in February with US and Israeli military action, claiming it prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He advocated "peace through power" and ultimatums, while separately confirming a "very productive" three-hour meeting with the Iranian delegation via mediators. The speech contrasted with UN Secretary-General António Guterres' warnings about deepening global divisions. Trump also promised to mediate peace between Russia and Ukraine, downplayed AI fears, and signed an agreement with Denmark and Greenland to strengthen US military presence on the island.
