President Donald Trump warned during his United Nations speech that Iran could face "annihilation" if it does not reach a deal to end the war, according to reports. Speaking directly in front of Iranian leaders, Trump said he could "drive them into hell" if Iran does not make a deal. His remarks came as Gulf states prepare to meet with Trump to urge him to avoid escalation and favor diplomacy with Iran.
The threat follows a three-hour meeting between U.S. Officials and the Iranian delegation, which Trump described as "very good." However, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio said talks with Iran may happen but are not currently scheduled. Meanwhile, Trump emphasized that a decision to make a deal or "annihilate" Iran is looming, highlighting the high stakes of the situation.
Gulf state officials are set to meet with Trump on Tuesday to discuss the potential for diplomatic engagement. The meeting comes amid growing concerns over the escalating tensions between the U.S. And Iran. Trump's strong rhetoric has raised fears of further conflict, but the possibility of a diplomatic resolution remains open.
