Trump warns Iran of annihilation after 'good meeting' on Hormuz

President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday that U.S. and Iranian officials held a "very good meeting," shortly after he threatened in his U.N. General Assembly address to "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if no deal is reached to end the nearly seven-month war. Trump accused Iran of "behaving badly" and stalling on reopening the Strait of Hormuz because the regime is "weak and desperate," while most of Iran's delegation walked out during his speech. He also claimed oil prices will plummet once the conflict ends. The address defended his war decision, and Trump held sideline meetings with leaders including Denmark's and Greenland's premiers to sign a security agreement, plus talks with the UK, Japan, Ukraine, and Gulf nations.
