Trump Threatens Iran Annihilation at UN, Cites 'Big Decision'
U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a speech at the UN where he threatened to "annihilate" Iran if a peace deal fails, stating he has a "big decision" to make on whether to "drive them into hell" or make peace. Most of Iran's delegation reportedly walked out during his remarks. Trump also referred to Iran as the "bully of the Middle-East" and warned rivals globally, while also discussing AI as an "American superweapon." His tone contrasted with UN Secretary General António Guterres's earlier remarks about deepening global divisions. The speech occurred as Trump returns to the UN amid anxiety about Iran, AI, and the future of the world body.
