Trump Threatens to 'Obliterate' Iran at UN If No Peace Deal
President Donald Trump threatened at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday to "obliterate" Iran if Tehran does not agree to a peace deal, while expressing belief an agreement could be reached after the US midterm elections. Trump stated his sole focus is ensuring Iran never obtains nuclear weapons, framing potential military action as necessary to prevent this. He called on nations to join the US in economically isolating Iran to force negotiations, predicting a deal immediately following the November 3rd elections. Trump is scheduled to meet with leaders from over 11 countries, including Gulf Arab states amid concerns over Houthi advances in Yemen. He will also meet Venezuela's interim leader Delcy Rodríguez and sign a security agreement with Greenland and Denmark.
