> In his Tuesday address to the UN General Assembly in New York City, President Donald Trump defended his decision to start a war with Iran. He accused Tehran of delaying a deal to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and negotiate an end to the war until after the U.S. midterm elections, while saying he faces a “big decision” over whether to let Iran rebuild or take harsher action.
