UNITED NATIONS – U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that he could annihilate Iran if there is no deal to end the war, but also suggested an agreement could come soon amid a diplomatic push at the United Nations.

“I have a big decision to make,” Trump said in a speech at the U.N. General Assembly in New York.

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