During an address to the United Nations General Assembly, US President Donald Trump issued a renewed threat to "annihilate" Iran, stating that he could drive the country "into hell with no chance of survival" or alternatively strike a deal with it.

The statements marked a stark and jarring departure from the standard diplomatic tone expected in a forum specifically devoted to world peace. Observers noted that the remarks fit a pattern of behavior in which Trump discomfits delegates at the annual international gathering, with one outlet suggesting his rhetoric may have surpassed historical provocations at the UN.
