President Donald Trump, addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York, declared that the United States might reach an agreement with Iran following the midterm elections in November. He emphasized that the choice between diplomacy and further military action remains open.
In his speech, Trump defended recent U.S. military actions against Iran, reiterating that Washington will not permit Tehran to develop nuclear weapons. He claimed that Iran had previously declined opportunities for negotiation, contributing to escalated military tensions.
Trump called on the international community to apply economic pressure on Iran, particularly criticizing its role in disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. These disruptions have heightened concerns over regional security and global energy supplies.
The President also took aim at the International Criminal Court, urging countries to withdraw from the institution and stating that the U.S. would oppose any international proceedings involving its military personnel.
During the address, Trump highlighted the Gaza ceasefire and ongoing reconstruction efforts. The broader UN discussions continued to focus on the conflicts affecting the Middle East and other global crises.
