The 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly concluded on Monday (September 28). Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated at the assembly that he faces a major decision: whether to reach an agreement with Iran, allowing it to rebuild and become stronger, or to swiftly "annihilate" Iran. He added that he believes a deal will be reached after the election. Trump also reiterated that he would never allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons, claiming that a 12-day war in July 2025 had "destroyed" Iran's nuclear program, and that the ongoing U.S.-Israel war against Iran had sunk 159 vessels of the Iranian navy.
