At the UN, Trump evokes both possible deal and "destruction" regarding Iran
The US president devoted part of his speech before the General Assembly to his military intervention against Iran, evoking a possible agreement after November's midterm elections.
US President Donald Trump devoted part of his speech before the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday to his military intervention in Iran, according to an account from Le Monde.
Trump publicly questioned whether he was driving Iran "to hell," before evoking the possibility of a deal with Tehran after the midterm elections scheduled for November.
Between agreement and firmness
The speech thus oscillated between evoking possible "destruction" and that of a diplomatic agreement, without the US president clearly choosing between the two options, according to the available account.
The available source does not specify the exact content of any possible agreement being considered, nor Iran's official reactions to these statements.
