US President Trump warned to annihilate Iran: What happens after President Trump’s threat to Iran at UN General Assembly?

US President Trump threatens to ‘annihilate’ Iran in his UN speech, if the conflict doesn’t resolve.

In his speech at UN General Assembly in New York US President Trump has said that he’s straddling between whether to strike Iran again or seek a peace agreement. During the president's Tuesday speech in New York, where he threatened to "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if the problem was not resolved, and only one member of Iran's delegation was present. Trump also criticized "global government" in front of a standing-room-only crowd, vowed to mediate a settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and made sure the United States succeeds in the race for artificial intelligence. On a day of high-level diplomacy, including discussions between US and Iranian officials, he made these remarks.

The US president claimed that the war had stopped Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and illustrated the importance of what he called peace through strength - ultimatums rather than deal-making or compromise.

"Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before?" further he added. "Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell?"

Later, Trump informed reporters that the Iranian delegation and American officials had a "very productive" three-hour conversation outside the general assembly. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Iranian official television confirmed that. The discussions were conducted "through the mediators, who shuttled between the two sides throughout the day," as Steve Witkoff subsequently posted on X. "They successfully completed a round of discussions that we hope will prove constructive and promising," Witkoff continued. "The mediators will continue their work."

The Iranian officials were "not the highest level, but it's something," according to Trump, who called the meeting "very good" but provided little specifics. Trump stated that he thought an Iran agreement, which has eluded him so far, will happen shortly after the elections in November. His coercive negotiation approach, which involves threatening overwhelming force while maintaining open conversations, was evident in the remarks.
