> Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly that he faces a “big decision” between striking Iran again and pursuing a peace deal, warning he could “annihilate” the Islamic Republic if the conflict continues. He later said US officials held a “very productive” meeting with Iran’s delegation, contrasting with António Guterres’s warning that global divisions are deepening.
