President Trump told the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday that he had to choose whether to “annihilate” Iran if it fails to make a deal to end the Iran war.
“I have a big decision to make – will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world?” Mr. Trump said.
“Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?” he said. “Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?”
“I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election because it doesn’t make sense for them not to,” he said.
“They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election. What they don’t realize is that I’m not running. I did that already, and won in a landslide,” he said.
Mr. Trump said Sunday he would “probably” meet on the sidelines of the U.N. summit with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is attending along with the country’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
