Speaking at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), he added that he had made an effort to establish peace around the world.“…While others have spoken of peace, I have made peace. While others have ignored threats, I have confronted them. While others have talked of courage, America has shown it. While others have promised strength, I have used it to make America the most powerful country in the world,” he said.…number one sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran. For 51 years, the fanatical Iranian regime has ruled by bloodshed and mass murder, spreading death and carnage and chaos across the entire Middle East and beyond. They were the bully of the Middle East, but they are the bully no more. From the first day I entered the political arena have been unwavering. I will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon..,” he added.Speaking about the much awaited Iran deal, Trump said, “I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before — maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness?”Later, Trump is expected to hold talks with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, besides an informal meeting with Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez, according to the White House.Trump is also scheduled to meet leaders and senior officials from the Gulf Cooperation Council — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — as Washington weighs the way forward on the war in Iran.The talks are also expected to take place against the backdrop of growing concern over recent attacks by Iran-backed rebels on Saudi Arabia.The United Nations has framed this year’s General Assembly around restoring trust and managing global transformation, with world leaders gathering amid a range of geopolitical and economic challenges.UN secretary-general António Guterres, whose second and final term ends on December 31, 2026, has also invoked the opening words of the UN Charter — “We the peoples” — to underline the organisation’s founding purpose.
