Trump said he may strike a deal with Iran after the midterms or move to far more destructive military action, while Tehran’s delegation walked out.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly he faces a "big decision" regarding Iran: reach a deal allowing it to rebuild or "annihilate" the Islamic Republic, while insisting Tehran never obtain nuclear weapons.
- Launched in February, Operation Epic Fury was projected to last six weeks; seven months later, the U.S. war against Iran persists, driving up energy prices and straining regional stability.
