Deal or annihilation? Trump speaks about his 'big' Iran dilemma at UNGA
US President Donald Trump said he has a "big decision to make" on Iran as he addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, laying out two stark choices: Striking a deal with Tehran or "annihilate" the Islamic Republic.Trump said a deal could allow Iran to rebuild and become "one of the greatest" countries in the Middle East or even the world. But he also raised the possibility of destroying the Iranian regime "quickly", saying he could deny it any chance to "kill and destroy again"."I have a big decision to make.
