nettavisen.no (Swedish)

President Donald Trump has issued new threats against Iran, suggesting he is considering military action to "wipe out" the entire nation, according to reports from The Hill and Fox News journalist Trey Yingst. Trump reportedly outlined three options: completely destroying Iran, letting it rot economically, or reaching a deal. He stated the question is "whether and when" he would blow up the country, adding that Iran "should behave." The threats come ahead of the UN General Assembly, where Trump plans to meet six Gulf leaders. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has spiked oil prices, and some Republicans, including Senator Lisa Murkowski, express concern over economic impacts ahead of midterm elections.
