President Trump threatened to "annihilate" Iran and drive it "into hell" if no nuclear deal is reached, speaking at the UN General Assembly over six months into an unpopular war.

He denied stockpile depletion and predicted a deal after November's midterms, while vowing to maintain pressure.

He framed the war as preventing a nuclear bomb, despite collapsed talks and depressed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
