At the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump said he faces a major decision regarding Iran, stating he would either make a deal with the country or 'annihilate the Islamic Republic,' according to reports from multiple sources. Trump suggested that a potential agreement with Iran could be reached after the U.S. midterm elections in November, as noted by France24 English and The Hill. In his speech, he defended the ongoing U.S.-led war against Iran, claiming it has prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as reported by France24 English. Trump also criticized the International Criminal Court, calling it 'out of control' and urging member states to resign, as per France24 English. The remarks were made amid ongoing discussions between officials on the sidelines of the event, as reported by BBC World. Trump's comments were described as a mix of threats and diplomatic overtures, with The Hill noting that he positioned himself as a 'peacemaker' while also speaking about the possibility of extreme action against Iran.
