A high-stakes address to the United Nations General Assembly saw a U.S. president double down on an aggressive stance toward Iran, framing the conflict as a defining issue of his foreign policy. The speech positioned diplomatic engagement as contingent on future political developments while leaving little room for compromise, instead portraying military confrontation as a potential outcome. The remarks underscored a hardline approach, leaving global observers to weigh the implications of such rhetoric on regional stability and international diplomacy.
President Trump took his "America First" foreign policy to the world stage, using his address to the UN General Assembly to defend the war with Iran and issue a stark warning to Iran's leadership. Trump said a deal could come after the midterm elections and that the alternative was to "annihilate the Islamic Republic." Nick Schifrin reports.
