US President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to “annihilate” Iran if Tehran refuses to reach a deal with Washington, while saying he believed an agreement would be done “right after the election” as he addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Trump delivered an unusually stark warning to Tehran, framing the choice before his administration as either allowing Iran to rebuild through a negotiated settlement or using overwhelming US military force to prevent the Islamic Republic from posing a future threat.
