I have a big decision to make: Trump had a ‘good meeting’ with Iranian officials warning he may ‘annihilate the Islamic Republic
· World · Fortune, The Hindu
President Donald Trump confirmed that United States and Iranian officials held a meeting on Tuesday following his address to the UN General Assembly in New York. During his speech, Trump threatened to annihilate the Islamic Republic if a deal is not reached to end the nearly seven-month conflict and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Most of the Iranian delegation walked out of the chamber during his remarks. Trump stated that he faces a major decision regarding whether to pursue a diplomatic settlement or military destruction. On the sidelines, Trump also signed a security agreement with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
