Trump threatens to annihilate Iran in shocking UN address

President Donald Trump threatened to annihilate Iran during a UN General Assembly address, shocking delegates with his open contemplation of destroying a fellow member state. The threat came eleven minutes into his 40-minute speech. Trump said he faced a "big decision" over Iran, which has resisted the US war launched in February more strongly than anticipated. He asked whether to make a deal or "annihilate the Islamic Republic" quickly, adding that he would "drive them into hell with no chance of survival." Trump also made false claims, incorrectly stating Iran's regime had held power for 51 years instead of 47, and citing inflated death toll figures for January protests. He predicted Cuba's collapse, praised US actions in Venezuela, and criticized the International Criminal Court.
