US President Donald Trump has threatened to “annihilate” Iran during a speech at the United Nations, raising the prospect of extreme action if a peace agreement cannot be reached.
In his address, Mr Trump considered whether a deal with Iran would be agreed. He also questioned whether the United States would instead have to take more severe action against the country.
The remarks came as officials met separately on the sidelines of the United Nations gathering. The supplied material does not provide further details about the officials involved or the discussions taking place.
The latest position outlined in the speech leaves the possibility of either a diplomatic agreement or a significant escalation, depending on whether a peace deal is reached.
