Trump Tells UN He Must 'Make a Deal' With Iran or 'Annihilate' It

President Trump told the UN General Assembly he faced a choice on Iran: strike a deal that lets it 'rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before,' or 'annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to destroy people and countries again.' Trump called Iran the 'No. 1 sponsor of terror' and said 'while others have talked, I have acted,' referencing the Feb 28 US-Israeli strikes that opened the war. The remarks, delivered directly to Iran's UN delegation, set up a defiant rebuttal from President Pezeshkian the following day.
